Back into Running

Today was my first run since the marathon. A very short two miles. I'm in Maryland for Thanksgiving with Chris' family so I had to find a new route. It's chillier than I'm used to. Fairly flat...FAIRLY. There was a lot to look at.

Surprisingly, I feel pretty good. I had some hip and knee pain on my right leg earlier this week but it's not really bothering me anymore. I DID get a incredible 90 minute massage on Monday night so I'm sure that helped.

I enjoyed getting out and running an entire distance, as opposed to running some - walking some. Yeah, it was only two miles, but still.


I signed up for a winter series the first Saturday of the next few months. December, January, and February are 5Ks, and then March is 5 miles. That will keep me motivated through the winter, I hope. I have a "post-marathon" training schedule so I'll be starting really light and working my way back up. My next goal is to run a half marathon in every state until I'm 50...we'll see if I can do it. (I have about 25.5 years so I should be good.)

Happy Turkey Day!
