    Thank you :)
    I certainly felt like it, but was also very excited and happy.

    Nice write-up @ohhim. Great race and it looks like a gorgeous day in Chicago. Hope your quads feel better soon.

    Huge congrats to all those smashing races this weekend! @ereck44, @katharmonic, @5512bf and @Ohhim. Amazing achievements all round :)

    I ran a shortened long run today as that pesky tight hip from a few weeks ago reared its ugly head at mile 4 and so I headed home to finish at mile 5. I did the right thing, there's no point pushing through muscle discomfort in training just to tick a few extra miles off the training plan (I only had 7 planned anyway as it's a cutback week). I'll get a proper massage this week if I can as I think that'll help.

    Patriots win. Steelers win. And thanks to the monsoon outside, I get my miles done inside. That's a good day.

    Taper is your friend. Not only will you be super rested, but your energy stores will be topped off and race day adrenaline will help carry you. Everyone has doubts that they can get there, but if you put in the time going into it, you'll make it.

    I'm going to try 50 miles just returning to running so hopefully can do this.

    Daily check in & non-running report:

    I was able to jog the hallway long enough for the eggs to cook this morning. The resulting aches were less than yesterday, and faded pretty quickly. Then I was sedentary at church for much of the morning. Felt pretty good, a lot like a week ago when I talked myself into testing a run. Maybe I could handle some 200 m running intervals?

    Well, I remembered the result from a week ago and decided to go for a longish walk instead. Didn't clock it, but it was probably between 3.5 and 4 miles. Ran to beat a stoplight during the second half, and got reminded that real running is still not a good idea; the resulting ache took over a half mile of walking to calm down. But it did calm down, and I notice I was able to walk briskly later on.

    Maybe tomorrow will be the day to test running a quarter mile. Or maybe not. Playing it day by day now, but it no longer feels like it will take forever to come back.
