Some guy made a comment about needing a walker as we were heading to our vehicles. I was like word!!! I was hobbling but I just did a soak for my legs and they are feeling a tad bit better. About to rub some muscle rub on them and let them rest

Brian it sounds like we’re in the same boat. I ran on Tuesday, 2 miles, my first time out in 4 months. My body needed some serious downtime after continuous training and racing (10k and sprint and Olympic triathlons) for 8 years. I started running maybe 4 years after I got sober. The beating I gave my body drinking and smoking for 35 year’s was not the best way to prep for a running career in mid-life!
I’m mixing it up now, biking, strength training, off days and “life” days (3 hours staining a deck yesterday) and I am reintroducing running. And listening to my body as well as my mind. I have injuries old and new from shoulders to back to knees to Achilles to feet, but my brain still craves the endorphins.
I’m off for a ride now, best wishes to you in your running recovery!

Fellow running warriors…
I just finished “Duel in the Sun”. It’s about the 1982 Boston Marathon battle between Dick Beardsley and Alberto Salazar. It is an awesome book and I highly recommend it. I did Dick’s half marathon last weekend in Detroit Lakes, MN. I went to his pasta feed and listened to him talk the night before. I had tears in my eyes more than once during his speech and reading this book. It’s a great story about a great race also talks quite a bit about Dick’s (and Alberto’s) struggles. I got it on Amazon for like $17.

Great job!!
If I am not feeling the motivation I will go out for 1 mile. More times than not it turns into a few miles and I always feel good afterwards

19 miles yesterday morning. Started dry 9 miles in the heavens opened and it was pouring rain for the last 10 miles. Not a major issue, skin is waterproof.
Felt good and had a bit left in the tank. Very close to the pace I want in 2 weeks time for the marathon.
I’m in good shape. I have 2 marathons left this year and a half marathon in mid December I intend to go well in those and take Christmas off.
Always thankful for the fact that I can participate in this great sport
