Rest day to recover from the marathon. Actually, I felt good enough that I may have tried running a few miles today but I didn't have time. I spent the morning getting Karen and the girls off on their road trip to visit her sister in Arizona, and then I went into work and didn't get home until after 11:00pm.

I stayed home from the trip because I've got a lot of work that needs to get done ASAP. Lest some think I'm a workaholic, I think this is the first time something like this has happened in nearly 25 years of marriage, and if Karen had said so I would have gone. To be honest, I think Karen and the girls were kind of excited about me not being there. I'm choosing not to be offended.

Good to hear the marathon didn't beat you up. I feel good too, that course was a good one not to beat up the legs. Are you doing anyother marathons beside SG this year?

Just SG. (If interested, you can see my rather lengthy answer when MichelleL asked if I was doing Ogden: http://pthomas.fastrunningblog.com/blog-Utah-Valley-Marathon/04-12-2008.html)
