Six Weeks Later

runnings
I’ve taken a bit more time off than I anticipated after the marathon, but I didn’t expect to feel quite so far out of it six weeks later. RF and I took it easy the first few weeks after the marathon and then I took off for vacation. Perhaps unnecessarily I again took it easy last week when I returned to help get over the jetlag. Last saturday RF and I got out for a 6 mile run. We of course enjoyed it, but agreed it just seemed it should have been easier. I feel like to be smart in my running, I already have to start working up the mileage versus diving into long runs. I know I took some time off, but it is still a mental adjustment to understand I’m not where I was six weeks ago.
