The first few steps heading our were really hard, I felt so stiff. So I would jog a few steps, and walk a few steps, and each jog section got to be a little longer, and a little longer. When I turned around on the Pier at mile 1, I ran into Robin Perkins and jogged with her all the way back to North Shore Pool (another mile).
When the rest of the TBF group came through, I jogged back out with them, even picking up the pace on occasion and made it 2 more miles to Nina Street. I turned around and jog/walked back to the start. So, a total of 6 miles for me. Then lots of stretching afterwards.
On Sunday, I was supposed to meet the group for a bike ride, but I didn't sleep well the night before and had a lot of major leg twitches during the night that kept me up. So I opted to sleep in and felt a lot more rested.
Sunday evening, I took a part of a sleeping pill and went to bed early. I woke up this morning feeling really rested.
At CrossFit, our WOD was "Michael", 3 rounds for time of 800m run, 50 GHD back extensions, and 50 GHD situps. The run still started of pretty rough and I was surprised how hard the back extensions and situps were. And it was all the fatigue in my legs!! I finished in 24:36. The last time I did this WOD on 9/11/09, I finished in 20:45 so I was significantly off pace. I'll put that down to post-marathon fatigue and hope that my performance starts to improve.
One other thing, it was a lot cooler this morning, and I forgot to take my inhaler. The cool felt great, but the less than comfortable breathing probably caused my slower performance. Oh well!
