Way less sore this morning than usual after a marathon. I guess that's what happens when you race at your training pace.

My foot really hurts though and I think it will be a while before I can run again. Checking the weather - looks like tomorrow will be perfect for running the Boston Marathon.

I'm going to do a lot of thinking over the next few days about where I am going to go with my running. I really want to be doing this for the next thirty or forty years.One thing for sure is that the marathon won't be the focus of my training and racing. If I ever run another good one , It will be completely by accident.

I hope the foot is ok. I like the idea of focusing on different distances. Trails still in the plans? Enjoy your recovery.

Since my accident I've found enjoyment just running whatever I feel each day. What's fun about that is some days I may decide to run faster and then days I just take an easy pace. No set training schedule or worrying about hitting times for a marathon.

Just try enjoying it without training and see what you feel like doing next. Great job in Boston with the heat.
