It's a rest day for me, my first in 41 days. I actually feel pretty good and could run if I wanted, but this wasn't about streaking as much as it was about training. And with that, it's over.

I'm thinking an RD, or three.

A bit sore, but not too bad. Can probably get back on the horse pretty soon, but in no big hurry.

I said previously that I don't look at post-marathon races till post marathon. So of course already looking this morning. Race options are starting to get sparse this time of year, which is annoying because it's race weather year-round here.

I'd like to find a half, but the best option is in 2 weeks, which might be pushing it. And a 5k, but a few more options there. We'll see how things go.

'Morning!  Indeed, it was a pretty epic weekend for the B&B, my own race aside.  Nice work, people.  And no pressure or anything but LAUREN AND GEORGE, YOU'RE UP NEXT.

 

My legs still ache.  My quads are sore to the touch.  At least I slept last night.  Today is an "optional" company holiday, but I am working because of work.  Once the storm and dust settles, maybe I can duck out a little early.    I am supposed to jog three miles later.

 

Still on cloud nine today.

You should be on Cloud Nine. I think the cutoff time for my race is 7 hours and I plan to take advantage of all of that to get as many photos as I can assuming I remember to bring my camera and use it.

Yeah, epic weekend. Pretty good couple of weeks, actually. PRs and BQs all over the place.

I'm hesitant about running today.

• It's beautiful outside. I have the day off work. DD has a soccer practice this evening. 3 good reasons to run.
• All along marathon training through a hurt foot, I swore I'd take it easy afterwards. I have no race planned. My legs are feeling the two 9 milers in a row (told ya it takes me forever to recover from a marathon). My foot, although better, is not healed.

For now, I'll fix myself another coffee and maybe watch an episode of Gotham.

30 trainer miles because I was feeling masochistic.

 

I wish I had done Chicago so that this marathon nonsense would be over with!!!

Freaking out a little bit? All is right in the world now. 

My office is closed but we have diversity and inclusion training, two hours worth.  It's 2016, really? 👎

A bit sore, but not too bad. 

OK I guess I am pretty sore. But, it's the good kind of sore.

Oh, and thanks for everyone's stalking & congratulating yesterday. Every time I crossed a timing mat, I was thinking about the forum. It was a little extra motivation to keep up the pace. I just went back & re-read everything in the dailies, because I didn't get a chance to catch up to all of it yesterday. It made me feel really good.
