Monday I got in a whopping 3,913 steps. LOL.
Feed me ALL the foods. ALL week long. How can someone doing so little need sooOOOOOooooo much food.
Its funny how you don't feel anything right after a 1/2 marathon. It waits a day or two, and then BOOM. Sneaks right up on you. HELLO, QUADS! That said, no where near as sore as I used to get. Major progress there. I felt super fine at Tuesday's final Women's 5K training. We did 8 x 200s, and I was reasonably fine.
And blister's cousin, Chafing, must mean, "SHOWER AT YOUR OWN RISK." :)
Tuesday would be the only day that week that I hit 10k steps until Saturday. After Tuesday with the ladies, I did NOTHING. And I mean NOT ONE THING. Not abs, not swim, not a short, quick anything. The less I did, the more tired I got. I'm not sure if this is good: allowing the tired in, taking a recharge, in mental prep for a next go around after a much needed week off? Or am I just being lazy?? In fact, its very tough to tell someone who's only been "good" for two years to take a break. It feels too comfortable. Too close to old me. Like I'll blink, and be THAT girl again. Its scary. But the best I could do to push that feeling aside was to set a date for return. I'll run an easy 5K on Saturday with the ladies, and then pick up the distance Monday. That felt like a decent enough compromise, and got me through the week. Not to mention that two 5K runs in one week was never old me either, and after 16? Ha. Puts things in perspective. Never the less ..
Post-race pictures trickling in brings much hilarity the week after a race. LOL. No neck Judy:
Final thoughts ...
