Rest Day (2)

I finally slept a bit better last night. Saturday night was miserable... hips hurt alot, and rolling over in bed always woke me up. Last night was just some weird dreams... was able to sleep better, rolling over didn't hurt.

I'm feeling pretty good, I might go to the gym with my husband after work just to do some light upper body weights... core work and stretching. Will see after work how I feel.

Tomorrow I'm off work.. I have to babysit my four month old grandson!! Yepppyy. I'm hoping to do my run in the morning before I have to drive to SLC.

Marathon Update*

So I didn't tell all of you about this young kid at my work that ran the marathon, nice kids but pretty cocky. Well when I got down to about 2 blocks from the finished one of our other co-workers seen me... he was walking back to run in his wife. He yelled to me "Josh is right there go get him" I seem him and could tell he was hurting. I caught up to him, and instead of just chicking him, ask him are you OK... He looked at me, and the realization came to his face of who I was... he took off like his feet were on fire... beat me to the finish... I was so mad at myself for not just running past. But today I realized that by the official times I beat him by 30 seconds.... I'm super happy!!!

Have fun with your grandson and I hope you're not running too much tomorrow. Are you going to follow the McMillan recovery plan that Bonnie posted the link to?

Yay I think I will follow the plan, I'll see how I feel and how it goes. What are you plans for recovery?

Yeah! You beat the cocky kid! Way to go!

I will try to follow the McMillan recovery plan this week. Next week, we'll see. I've got other plans for next Monday, but then I'll take it easy the rest of next week.

That is an awesome story, Lori.
