No watch, no radio, I just ran a little bit. I planned to go to Boot Camp as I've been missing it, but when I got there and saw the exercises they would do my body physically ached and I knew I wasn't up for it. I've been sick with allergies or a cold the last few days so that plus the marathon was not a great combo. Then tried the elliptical but after 3 minutes I wasn't having that, so I headed outside. Fairly cool and windy but perfect running weather. Legs felt pretty good and by the end I was moving okay, in the low 8s probably. Nice short run but good to be back at it.

Lots of regrets from the race. Once I got dizzy and the A goal was gone I should've switched to my B or C goals, but I hadn't created any. It was an A goal or bust and now I feel a bit busted. All that training should've gotten me a PR, and I could've done it but I didn't listen to my coach (Kam) during the race. I switched to just wanting to finish and be done with the whole training cycle, and that goal was accomplished. I'm just left wanting a bit more now.

I kinda feel the way you do. Pretty disappointed about my race results. Let's make a pact to focus on and do better on the next marathon! :-)
