Other than my third toenail that is trying to fall off, this week has been full of good stuff like resting, recovering and eating! I only had a three day work week so it was perfect! I am not sure what is wrong with me but I have been more than hungry for the past few days! I have been kind of giving in and eating a little too much.
All of the soreness that I had in my quads was gone when I woke up yesterday morning. I was kind of surprised since my first two marathons left me sore for close to a week. I think that the soreness may have gone away much quicker this time because I have been foam rolling every single day. That thing really works! I think that I might try to run an easy paced 6 on Sunday but we will see what happens.
I have a 10K coming up on June 8th so I need to get a couple of short runs in before then so that I don't die out there. The start of the race is about 2.5 miles from my house so I might even jog over to the start. My friend Megan will also be in town to run the 5K so I will finally get to meet this sweet girl! I keep telling her that she needs to move back to California so she doesn't have to keep flying in from Georgia to run these 5K's! I don't have any big plans for this 10K but I have not ran one in a while so it will be interesting to see what I can pull off.
What are your plans for the weekend? Any races on the schedule?
I am always famished the days after a big race! You've earned those treats!!! Tomorrow I have a 10k to run...in a heat wave...I'm going to melt! I'm such a baby in the heat!
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us! If the weather is warm/hot, I don't even want to try to run. Have a great race and don't push too hard in the heat!
DeleteYou deserve all the foam rolling and treats you can get! Enjoy the down time!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terzah! I might be over-enjoying myself here!
DeleteEnjoy those treats. Eat some German Chocolate Cake ice cream for me too please.:) You deserve all of those treats after running a kick ass 26.2!! Enjoy it!! Rest up and foam roll away.
ReplyDeleteI think I overdid it but it's back to business next week. Gotta get back to chasing that BQ!
DeleteYears ago, I made a peanut butter cake for my dogs. It must have been really good, judging by how fast they ate it! ; ) I hear you on the fear of dying in the 10K so soon after running the marathon, but I'm sure it will be fun to be racing again.
ReplyDeleteThey loved the cake! I am going to have to try baking a doggy cake on my own next time. I had a Groupon for the doggy cake so it was only $9.00. It is going to be 90 degrees on Saturday so I don't think it will be wise to push myself too hard in the heat. It will probably be in the 70's when the race starts.
DeleteI a, trying to come to see you guys run...if Bill is home I will be there
ReplyDeleteYes please do! I was going to text you and ask you if you wanted to come down and meet Megan. Let me know if you can make it.
