I really enjoyed my easy week the week after the marathon and my medium easy week this week. So much so that they made the whole marathon worth it! I mean it only last 3 hours and 15 minutes and then you get to be sore and run easy for the next week and not feel guilty about it. But today I was back up to 2 hours and 15 minutes so I guess all good things must come to an end. Even as I'm writing this I'm reminded that I have to go do push ups and crunches and planks and all that stuff, though no wall sit thank goodness, so hold on.
After the marathon I was too sore to do push ups and crunches and planks, and jumps, and definitely burpees, shudder. I like being sore because I earned it. Being sore says- I worked really really hard, so hard that I can't work hard anymore. Sore means yesterday was hard and today will have to be easy because of it. Unfortunately it is getting harder and harder to make me sore. Back in high school doing six miles could make me sore, or a workout at the beginning of the season. My first 10k made me sore and after my first steeplechase I could hardly even walk. Now the half marathon doesn't make me sore not even a tiny bit. The marathon still does but less than last year. At least a good 30 mile time trial should do the job nicely. I'm looking forward to that in December. The being sore afterwards, though not the ice bath.
