After the marathon, my legs and body were pretty sore and beat up!<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this quote that @runtowin<\/a> posted on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I felt like I played in a very rough football game with no hitting above the waist.” — former NFL DT Alan Page<\/a> after a marathon<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I actually saw Alan in the early miles of the marathon playing his tuba! But everything above the waist felt great, while it hurt to walk around!<\/p>\n

I did find that the more I walked around the looser and better my legs felt.\u00a0 But if I sat too long at my desk I’d get really stiff.\u00a0 I got a massage on Monday<\/strong> which helped my walking since it loosened up the calf and hamstring muscles.\u00a0 Tuesday <\/strong>was feeling better but still a little stiff.\u00a0 By Wednesday <\/strong>morning I was feeling almost normal again and decided to bike to work.\u00a0 I biked a total of 8 miles and felt pretty good.\u00a0 I tried to take it nice and easy and not push too hard. On Thursday<\/strong> I rode to work again and had Christy meet me afterwards for a casual ride to enjoy some of the changing leaf colors and enjoy the nice weather.\u00a0 We ended up riding almost 18 miles! Friday<\/strong> I left for a work retreat, we went just out side the metro-area to a beautiful YMCA camp and spent most of the day inside. But on Saturday<\/strong> we did a high ropes course 30 feet in the air! It is amazing how much energy can be expended on a ropes course.\u00a0 I had brought running clothes but didn’t wake up in time to run before breakfast.\u00a0 I finally got around to running on Sunday<\/strong>.\u00a0 I had planned to go running at Pike Island<\/a>, but on the way there decided to try a new place.<\/p>\n

I had a vague idea of where I was supposed to be going to get to the start but it is a little confusing of an area.\u00a0 I hadn’t brought my cell phone which has Google maps built in, so I was pretty much just guessing!\u00a0 I wanted to go to Sibley house and run those trails, but instead ran along Crosby Farms<\/a>.\u00a0 When I got back and looked at a map, I realized my mistakes, but this was still a nice 5K run.\u00a0 I actually ran on the river bank for a little while before running on a dirt\/sand trail and then using a paved path to get back to my car! It was a nice, scenic, and refreshing first run back.\u00a0 I was in no hurry and finished in 25:22. I was a little stiff at the beginning but it worked itself out by the end.\u00a0 My legs are still a little tired!<\/p>\n

Weekly Mileage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running – 3.1 miles<\/p>\n
