Roughly one week ago exactly I completed the Walt Disney World 2015 Goofy Challenge – essentially ran the Half Marathon on Saturday, and followed that up with the Marathon on Sunday. As expected, by Monday morning, I had some issues moving around. That continued until around Thursday, when I was back to walking normally. Now a week out, I’m still having some tightness in my calves, but hopefully a trip to the chiropractor next week should help that out.
I’ve gotta admit, and many people warned me about it, the post-marathon blues are legit. I’ve been kinda depressed this week. Even when I sit back and think about the fact that I ran nearly 40 miles in 2 days, it doesn’t excite me like it did beforehand. But it’s nice to put the word “MARATHON RUNNER” alongside my name. Hopefully, I’ll get back into running, and focus on the next race… not sure what that will be… I have a couple of 5K options coming up, but I may just target the St. Luke’s Half and try to PR that one (2014 finish of 2:45).
