Day 2,766 —Better than any Birthday— see my PICTURE from the MORNING of the RACE at virtuesruns.blogspot.com

I felt better doing today’s mile than I did the mile I ran after the 50 over the summer. One of the best things I did for recovering was staying awake. I kept trying to move around and eat. I was still eating so much food yesterday.

I finally fell asleep at about 4 p.m. and I woke up a little after 2 today. I felt tired as I started my short run today, but not lumbering as much as I have in the past. 

I am so thankful for all the support from my family, coworkers, friends, fellow runners, and all the nice comments on Strava. Thank you so much for encouraging me. This has been truly a profound experience. Now, I get to figure out what is next.
