First time back running since the marathon. Immediately after the race, we went home, showered, packed up and drove 24 hours to Houston. I know, not the smartest thing to do after a marathon! However, we actually were okay, stiffness-wise. We stopped every couple of hours, and, after the initial getting out of the car, walked around for a minute, then were okay. By Monday morning, I was hardly sore at all. Amazing! No time to run in Houston, flew home on Wednesday, and packed running gear to take to Idaho. However, it was FREEZING up there. And, I was a wuss. I planned on running on Friday, but it was too cold. So, then I thought I'd go later in the day, but we ended up having a lively game of kickball with the kiddos that afternoon, so I counted that as my exercise :) Saturday, I was just plain lazy. So, now we come to this morning. Back home, back to routine, back to exercise. Ran my sprints on the treadmill this morning. Could definitely tell I hadn't run in over a week! But, I made it through and it sure felt good to get those endorphins back again! Hoping the weather cooperates some this week so I can get outside more instead of on the treadmill. |
