return from Grandma's marathon...Help!

I looked at the WIKI and was able to download the PDF on the recovery from the race but not the webinar (Box?  I have a mac)  even tried it on my windows 7... didn't work... anyway,I think I've got the gist of it... (No running!)

I did well and qualified for Boston and New York!.. my friend who I ran with/for did not image  I am so bummed for her!  The weather was extreme!  I did all thatI would do for Hawaii but this was Minnesota!  Lots of ambulances and a busy medical tent.

So this is camp week.  I have minor soreness in my muscles but my gut is still recovering!  I'm drinking lots of fluids and eating yogurt!  I did an hour on the bike this am and plan to swim 200's at Barton Springs after work...  and I can ride this weekend...  but tell me.... any running this weekend?

  • Patricia -

    Congratulations to you again! I think I'm just going to start all of my emails to you with "congratulations" since 95% of the time it's appropriate. :-)

    I don't see any upside for you running this weekend. I'm happy for you to be outside an active, say like a hike. But I'd rather you put into next to swim or just a self-care session like yoga and stretching. Even though you didn't run perhaps as fast as normal, remember that the physiological impact of a hot race is significantly greater than one run simply against the clock.

    I say no running through Monday of next week.
  • Thanks, coach!

    swimming in cold water and riding my bike... Awesome! Anyone doing Buffalo Springs this weekend will be in for a doozy! It is nasty hot out there! it so hot that the deer are sleeping in the Armadillo dens!
