First off, the Marathon from Saturday did complementary race photos!  I’ve never run a race where they didn’t make you purchase your pics.  Cool Beans, right!?!  So, I’m going to toss my finish line pic in here.  Just so you can see it.  My official finish time was 5:05:23.  14 min PR.  I’ll take that, thank you very much!   🙂

Today, I was scheduled for a 6 mile recovery run.  That is NOT going to happen.

Nope.

My rumpatootis and quads are very unhappy with me today.  That was to be expected but I thought I might be able to manage 6 miles anyway.  I changed my mind when I let Paxton, my pudgy pooch, out this morning.

It is cold.  36F cold and raining.

I’m sorry.  You can call me a sissy but running in the cold, I can do and do it often.  Running in the cold rain is a completely different story.

When I run in cold rain, my muscles never warm up and I spend the rest of the day shivering.  I cannot warm up after doing that.  What with already sore legs and the weather, no, today will be rest day #2.

Tomorrow is just supposed to be cold.  I’ll get a run in tomorrow before my eye surgery in the afternoon.
