<p>I'm sure all the marathoners are feeling it today.  I ran a half trail saturday and I am all beat up.  My left foot has been bothering me a little for about a month, my right knee (IT) hurt the last couple days but felt better today, and I somehow strained a muscle in my upper back below my shoulder blade that makes breathing when running more difficult.  I still got in my hour this afternoon running a little slower than yesterday until I did the last half mile at 7:00 pace just to change it up a little after going 8:30-8:40 the rest of the run.  Ended up with 7.01 miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have my monthly massage coming up thursday so I am hoping that will help.</p>
<p>I am also soaking my foot in epsom salt.  It was only hurting a little after a hard workout</p>
<p>but isn't recovering as well after the race.</p>

<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been hectic around here and I've hardly had time to keep up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>rip, you sound beat up pretty bad. Take it easy, will ya?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ks, I hope your taper is going well. You are so primed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tw - that's great news with all that running you've been doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm so inspired by the Boston runners! Great performances turned in by everybody. Boston was just bursting with energy and excitement! I wish I got the chance to see everybody but the meeting time collided with my tee time and I coldn't make it in Saturday early enough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>During yesterday's recovery run through my town everybody was getting ready for the big Patriots' Day parade and battle re-enactors (the redcoats marched to my town after the skirmish in Lexington). I felt like I had my own little crowd support going on and couldn't help but step on the gas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today I went to the track and did 6x1/4 mile intervals. My turnover is getting better. Next week I'll extend the distance to around 600m.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the gift,</p>
<p>Mike</p>

<p>I just got back from walking the dog (the old one-we have a puppy now), and I'm very pleased to report I ran 1 block!  Riding feels more natural than running now.</p>
