Dropped my son off at school at 6 am for his basketball Crossfit workout which meant I would be showering at the Y, so I might as well try and exercise my aching legs. 10 minutes on the bike, very easy, 10 minutes on the treadmill at 3 mph and 3% incline. Feels better to walk uphill right now.

I need advice from experienced back-to-backers. I'm running a marathon in 5 1/2 weeks. What can I do to actively recover from the quad-busting I got from Saturday's 8000 feet of elevation drop? I'm familiar with passive recovery, but I'd like to get back to running sooner rather than later so I can get in some quality workouts. Any advice is appreciated!

Y again this morning. 20 minutes on the bike, nearly 30 minutes walking on the treadmill at 3 mph and 3% incline. I bumped it up to 4.5 mph and ran about 20 steps before slowing down again. Man does it hurt. I can't believe that Crockett isn't even sore, and he did 100 miles of this crazy course. Amazing.

10 minutes on the bike, 20 minutes walking on the treadmill at 3% and 3 mph. Again tried running and it felt much better than the other day, but I'm still sore. I'll hold off on running again until my quads aren't sore. They are clearly telling me they need more time to rest. I've obviously been retaining water as my weight was 165 the past few days (and 162 pre race), but today it's about 163.5 so the water levels are lowering. Good news.
