okay, I'm still working on the race report. be patient.
here is the status of my calf: I took a rest day and all is well. I think I just had a really tight knot or something.
BUT I went running on thanksgiving morning with peter {I tried to tell him that since we went running that morning that gave us a "free pass" and we could eat anything we wanted. yeah, he didn't so much buy it.} and was having some serious issues with my left hamstring. yeah, I know. is the pain just traveling up my leg or what? so I took friday off too.
saturday I just jumped right back into my training plan. it was a lower mileage week anyway, so it was perfect for the post marathon legs. actually, can I tell you how easy my recovery has been? I wasn't too incredibly sore the following days after the race {like I didn't feel that my knees were on backwards, or I couldn't go down stairs without holding onto the rail and wincing in pain} and it was really easy to get back into running again. well, with only a few minor aches and pains.
yesterday's long run wasn't that bad, though my legs were feeling pretty tight by the end. I just need to go see my massage chica, I think. and I only had random aches and pains that didn't stick with me through the whole run. success!
10.5 miles

Sounds like a good run - nice!
So how did I miss that you did another marathon?! You are amazing! Glad your recovery is going so well. Can't wait for the report!
I guess I am confused as well, I think I missed the news that you were doing a marathon. I hope it went well, can't wait to read about it!
you guys didn't really miss any announcement or anything... I just kinda did it. very spur of the moment. kinda crazy. but extremely glad I did it. hopefully the race report will be up today so you can hear all about it!
