Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.00	0.00	5.00

Made it to the gym to lift for like the first time in 2 weeks. 35 minutes weights.

5 miles out and back from the gym. I must be feeling better because I paced 8:51 today. Physically I feel pretty good post marathon but my energy is definitely low and I will be starting an iron supplement today. I am also really glad I made the choice not to pace the SLC half marathon. There was about a .25mi section of gradual downhill on todays route and it was painful. My quads are definitely not ready for the pounding of downhill running yet at any pace!

I will be on the course tomorrow morning at mile 10 of the half (liberty park). After I see all of the familiar faces I will move to mile 16 of the full marathon to volunteer at the aid station. Please let me know if you want me to have anything ready for you. I'll be filling my 3 small handheld water bottles full of gatorade and can have Gu's, ect ready if anyone needs anything.

I think taking the iron supplements is a safe bet. I've been making sure to really focus on hydration, iron, and protein since Monday afternoon, and I'm feeling pretty good.

My plan is no runs longer than an hour, and nothing faster than very easy until next weekend.

If you are feeling your energy levels are really low, don't be afraid to take a few days off. You won't lose any fitness and it will allow your body to recover more quickly. You have had your hardest training cycle ever and your body might respond very well to some low-to-no exercise for a couple weeks. Just a thought :) I'm just so paranoid for everyone running marathons now because of my experience. I didn't take any time off and it really hurt me for several months after.

We'll have to go out to lunch or something after the racing festivities tomorrow!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I definitely plan to keep things light/easy for as long as I need to. I am also convinced that the fact I haven't had icecream in two days may be to blame for the sluggishness. :)

I'd love to do lunch after the race. My friend is in charge of an aid station and I'll be helping her until about noon but I'm free anytime after that.

i totally agree with the few days off idea. i sometimes will take a whole week completely off from running if my body is telling me to. as andrea said, you won't lose fitness. this could potentially mean bigger fitness GAINS down the road because you aren't tripped up by injuries and general fatigue. it seems like your recovery week is going very well though, which is great to hear. just take it one day at a time.

also, i'm glad you will be at mile 16 -- something to look forward to tomorrow if the going gets rough. make a comment on how well i match; it will make me feel awesome.

Is there room for a third? Take the time, part of my recovery from injury was so slow because I wouldn't take time off until my body forced me too. So yeah... eat a cookie... iron fortified.
