Recovering just fine

Surprisingly, I am nowhere near as sore as I was after Austin Marathon in February.  However, I also didn’t run myself to the ground, and spend 90 mins in the medical tent, so I think those would go hand in hand.  Sore muscles here and there, mostly my quads, and some uneasy moments walking downhill and up and down stairs.

Just got a 30 min Chair Massage here at work.   Scalp, Neck, Shoulders, Back, Hips, Arms, Hands Fingers…   A nice start to the road to recovery.

Tomorrow, I have an hour leg massage with Lisa, so after those, I think I’ll be feeling almost as good as before the marathon.  I’ve already decided to go for a 5 to 7 mile run on Saturday on the trails.  I can’t wait to run again.

I’m still trying to find a moment to type up my marathon experience.  I think Thursday after work will be the next opportunity I get.

I am also getting really excited about the St George Marathon next October 4th.  I just hope I get picked, as it is a lottery based registration.  (more about this soon)

I am glad you are excited about St. George. I am sending you some of my good lottery 'juju', as I have been picked both times successfully

As I've said before, I'm your fan, Wiley Coyote! You are one of the high points in terms of people I've met running. :->

I'm interested in St. George. Let's talk!
