Recovery

So, I'm not really sure I like this whole "recovery" thing after a big race.  How does one do it??  I'm going crazy; I'm getting cabin fever.  But I know my body is asking me to take it easy--it's still sore!  And I will...until Thursday, probably. 

I didn't want to do too much today, so I did 30 minutes on the elliptical.  That's the shortest I've done (when actually doing "exercise") in a long time.  It didn't seem worth it, but I know I need to ramp up--I'd hate to do any real lasting damage, you know? 

Once I got home, though, it was a different story.  I may not have gone running, but I did spend 2 hours between weeding a patch of lawn that we'll be seeding (there's still totally time in the year for that...weird); closing up any racoon access under our back deck, as a famly seems to like it under there at night; and crawling under the house to clean out the dryer vent--I'll finish the rest of that tomorrow and be able to cross one line off the Honey-Do list.

A good day, indeed.
