post marathon week - again!

part of the trail i found!

so it's been a week since marathon #4...

monday - i was sore in my upper quads and left inner ankle side. i ran errands and walked a lot. i also went on a 2 mile walk that evening with my man.

tuesday - i walked 2 miles in the evening again. it seemed to help a lot to flush the soreness away!

wednesday - i took 2 of my kids on a 4 mile easy run. i felt good, just a little tight so i took it easy for the most part. that afternoon, we went on a 3.5 mile hike! i discovered a terrific trail to run. it's chock full of roots, rocks and hills. and the scenery is awesome! i definitely can't run this alone. it's a little out there. and with all the twists and turns, roots and rocks, it's just better to have someone there.

friday - took thursday off and ran a 4 miler. felt back to normal. i am just so thankful to recover fast and feel like i've not run a marathon! i'm taking off the weekend to make sure i'm good and rested after running 2 marathons in 2 weeks. 26.2 miles sunday, and 8 miles this past week, i think it's a good idea. and then i'm forging forward!
