Daily Quote: "Don't let up on your carb intake just because you're done with the marathon. Your body needs to refuel and rebuild cells in the hours and days after the race, so eat plenty of whole grains and fruits and vegetables." --Dane Rauschenber, Running Times Magazine, June 2008, pg 22.
10:00 a.m. Today is a slow Recovery Run of 5 miles. Time: 50 minutes, 10 minutes per mile pace. Out and back on Torrey Pines, which partially traverses the Las Vegas Marathon Course. Partly cloudy, 75 degrees, winds SW at 13 mph. Average heart rate: 144 bpm. Cardiac drift: 150 bpm. (Note my maximum heart rate is 190 bpm)
Body feels great, I could have easily gone farther/faster, but that would defeat the purpose of recovering from the marathon. I'll continue to stay focus on baby steps-baby steps recovery.
Temperature in Vegas is climbing higher, must start running sooner and/or after work during the very early morning hours.
