Recovery Run

After Sunday's run I would say my most painful parts have been my two blistered, black and blue toes on both my feet and bad chafing from my panty line (nice..).

I worked hard during the half marathon so of course my muscles are a little stiff but not over-the-top sore.  I've also been feeling quite tired.

Today is Wednesday and I had to make a decision if I was going to go to yoga class or go for an easy run but I had to start doing something.  As Larry says I have to "keep the dream alive".

I'm still feeling a bit lazy from Sunday so decided not to go to a formal yoga class but to put on my running shoes one more time and go for an easy 5K run around the Casa Loma route which is rather flat.  (As I am proof reading this, it looks funny to read that I feeling lazy so opt for a run rather than yoga). I'm so glad I ran because even though I had a few aches and pains throughout the run I'm feeling fit and really happy.  Not to minimize the word 'happy' but it's more than that: content, at peace, all round strong.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how far I can take this level of fitness and if I can make it to the full marathon once again, October 20.
