Run aftermath

I'm posting something now and will catch up on the race day itself soon...

 

Okay. I'm here. And I'm still beat tired. In short, it was a very inspirational race, practically out of body. I am starting to type some of it down now, and I'll share more details soon.

 

I can say I did not leave very much out there; I spent just about all I had, without puting my life itself at risk. My legs really took a beating because they weren't working right for the last half of the race. So I was too exhausted to do much more than eat, shower and sleep Monday night (didn't get back home until 8).

 

Tuesday, I worked the am from home and then got on a plane for Syracuse for business in the afternoon.

 

Wednesday morning, I managed to sit up in my hotel bed, but then was stuck there for the better part of an hour. I anticipated trouble the night before, because I left water, ibuprofen, and Biofreeze (like liquid Ben-Gay) on the nightstand. I hobbled to the office 2.5 hours later.

 

I was able to walk about 30-45 minutes tonight, which is the first step for post-race recovery. I hope to get a good night's sleep tonight, and keep recovering tomorrow.
