i managed to ease back into running after the "flying pig" without ripping or tearing anything. it took a few days to get the soreness out of the legs and to get a sense of zip back in my legs. i was so thankful to have a week of running that did not include paranoia regarding injury. i was cautious, but not paranoid. i really enjoyed the trail running and i felt like i was flying pretty efficiently on the frisco saturday afternoon.
i did have a sense of let down this week at times. i think if i had not put the journey for 50 milers and 100 milers on hold, i probably would not have experienced the let down feeling. i think i am starting to get over it. i still am on an endurance journey, but i have ramped up the attention i will be giving to the speed journey. i will be marathoning again in a few weeks (minneapolis marathon on may 31st). i will be experiementing with some different things for this event - including doing the event without walk segments. i am not shooting for a big p.r. - maybe a little one though :) the marathon that i really intend to RACE is in november - the tulsa route 66 marathon on 11.22.2009. i am hoping to be prepared to fly that course at boston qualifying pace.
still having a blast!
