Recovery

After a 3 mile jog, weight lifting at Active Edge, and an hour of massage therapy, I can honestly say that there will be no DC National  Marathon race this weekend.  There is pain, soreness, fatigue, and tightness in every inch of these legs....it's definitely clear that there needs to be a few more days of rest.  I'm glad the answer is so clear, I needed that.

Spent a few hours researching a new 12 week marathon plan for this next race, June 18.  Need to get in more marathon pace runs, a few extra hill workouts, and more biking.  Marathon #4 of this year will be in Duluth, MN with my sister!  I believe these longs runs may need to be spent out in CH and Carrboro to get used to more hills!

The remainder of this week will be rest, rest, rest.  Monday will be day 1 of the 12 week training regime.  Printed out 3 different training plans, will combine them together and put together something that will work for me.  Tar Heel 10 miler is in just two weeks!

Off to the book store to figure out how to do a Tri....
