I'm 10 days removed from Chicago. Some observations:
- I was sore and achy, although, not as much as expected, for the remainder of last week.
- My Thursday run (Friends of the River) was proof that my legs were not ready for a hard run yet.
- I have been unable to find the motivation to train. I suspect my body is telling me that I need more rest before resuming my training regiment. I am still felling some fatigue going up and down stairs, etc.
- I have been, and continue to be, incredibly hungry. The amount of food intake over the past 10 days has been crazy.
- While I have been unable to train much, my tri last weekend felt good. I hope that this is a sign that my body is close to being ready to resume training.
I hope to resume my training late this week, with the Dallas Marathon in my sights for December. If I can get 5 weeks of good training, I can have a 2 week taper prior to the race.
I have a tri scheduled this weekend, will run next weekend (5k and, perhaps 13.1), a tri on 11.8, likely a duathlon the weekend of 11.14.
I need to identify a longer distance run for the weekend of the 21st, will run the Trot 10k on the 26th. hopefully the race schedule will help get me back on track.
:)
