alright Feeling the Marathon 5.5 mi 00:44 08:05 pace

Definitely feeling like I ran a marathon 9 days ago, achy in the usual vulnerable spots, cut this one just a hair short and took it easy. Even the massive foam rolling last night didn't help much. Hephaestus warm-up, Nike (the goddess, not the shoe company) flexibility cool-down. Finished with Atlas core routine.
Nice to be back out in the predawn though, haven't done a lot of that lately. And hopefully earned the birthday cake we'll have tonight, celebrating our youngest son's 5th birthday.
Addendum - did Achilles lower leg routine before lunch

    How long do you typically break for after a big race like that Greg? Enjoy the cake and happy birthday BTW! My son is 5 this weekend and we've already eaten the "trial" rocket cake my wife made for it!

    The 2nd week after a marathon I think is tougher then the 1st sometimes. Have a couple of slices of cake. Wish your son a very happy birthday for me.

    Please dont take this the wrong way but I feel better reading you are still a bit achy 9 days out from your race... I am pretty sore but it comforts me to know this is all "normal." I think regardless of how many miles today, you are well deserving of more than your share of cake. Happy Birthday to your baby! :-)

    You're youngest is more than a year older than my oldest. Puts it in perspective! Anyway, look at it this way: the fact that you're feeling the marathon means you gave it everything you had. That's a great thing. Now keep on doing the easy runs in anticipation of training for your sub-2:50 :)

    Nice to know that how I felt today was normal. I could even tell during my warm-up that it was going to be dicey. Smart to take it easy and call it when you were done. Happy 5th Birthday to your son!!
