Friday I ran a very easy 5 miles. Saturday I did a small group run for 6 miles. Drinking coffee afterwards took longer than the actual run. Yesterday was an easy hour with Evan. And this morning was 4 very easy miles. No real goal for the week, but I’m thinking 30-40 miles.
I spent part of the weekend watching/reading about the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships on TV as well as through the web with sites such as, Down the Backstretch and Flotrack. Good stuff. Lots of athletes with Minnesota ties performed really well. Congrats to them.
That’s all I have – the marathon sucked me dry.
Quote of the day;
“The first thing the TV interviewer asked him when he won was ‘Who are you?’ He wore his MSU jersey and everybody wanted to know where Mankato, Minn. was.” – coach Mark Schuck referring to Jim Dilling’s upset win in the high jump

Chad-
the nice thing you have going your way is all the base you accumulated this spring getting ready for G-Mas. Give yourself three weeks to adjust and I bet you will be feeling much better. Once or twice a week try some striders after your runs and see if that helps. I also take this time period to treat myself to a couple of massages. Good luck and best wishes heading into TCM.

Gregg, yeah I know you're right and it's better to focus on recovery now, rather than being fatigued all summer. But man, it's tough when you go from feeling fit to feeling like crap - all because of a marathon.
