Recovery

Well, I'm in my third and final week of recovery from the marathon and the body is feeling good. Still taking all my runs easy as I want to ensure I recover properly not only from the marathon but also from last week's 10-miler. Was quite impressed that I didn't feel any soreness in the legs after Saturday's race. Yesterday, I took a complete day off from running only because I didn't take one last week (Week 2 of Recovery). To sum up this week so far, I did 7 miles on Mon & Tues, a DNR (did not run) on Wed, and 9 miles today all easy. I'll finish off the week with easy runs capping the mileage right around 48 miles.
