I'm starting to enjoy the recovery run. I only set out to do 3 miles instead of my usual Sunday 6 because yesterday was such a long day, not only because of the run, but also because I spent a good part of the day on my feet afterwards, touring several houses, then doing some shopping.

The first mile was typically brutal. But ever so slowly, the aches melt away and by mile 3, I'm feeling okay. The weather was pretty nice too and it seemed kind of a shame to cut the run short, but it did feel good to get out, and I'm not limping around at all today.

I did realize that the next long run isn't scheduled for 4 weeks. That seems a bit long between long runs and by then we're only 3 weeks out from Chicago. The official Marathonfest schedule is 10, 14, 10, 22-24 over the next few Saturdays. I'm thinking I'll take that to 14, 22, 12, 24. I'm sure I'll be able to talk some of the other idiots into that.
