For the week after Grandma's Marathon, I didn't do a lot of running. Kathleen got me a two week trial membership to her gym, so I was able to use the pool a lot. Working different muscle groups while putting less stress on my legs was a great way to spend the recovery period.
The recovery period is now over and I'm back in the phase of maintaining the base mileage until the next time I feel like torturing myself for a few months. For now, I'm trying to enjoy the summer as best I can, and am just doing simple 4 mile runs, which means everyone who knows me always says "that's it?!" when I tell them how far I ran that day.
And when I'm not running or swimming, I'm doing backflips on the beach. Anything to keep up with the fitness.
