Week's Summary
Despite having run the Duke City Marathon this week, I really loaded up on the miles. I was actually itching to run on Tuesday but that was my travel day from Albuquerque to Utah. Normally I take a minimum of 2 days off after a marathon and I had some soreness but not a lot.
I still have to maintain my fitness for Vegas, which is about a month away. If the weather cooperates, I am hoping to hit around 4 hours for that marathon. So with a solid base, I want to get in a bit of speed work.
I also felt a lot less soreness after Duke City. While I was dehydrated and sort of cranky afterwards, this marathon proved to have the least post race soreness I've experienced in a while. Maybe I am getting used to this thing.
There is also a part of me that is worried about overuse injuries. So far (knock on wood) I've managed to dodge that bullet. But the inner coach in me tells me I am doing too much... Ugh... the joys of running versus staying cautious...
