It has been two and a half weeks since I ran the marathon. In that time, I have not run once. I've gone on a tiny hike, and walked places, and cleaned house, and unpacked after moving, and started a new job. But my running shoes remain firmly in the closet, and my ipod still boasts of a last run consisting of 26.3 miles.
I'm okay with this. I'm thinking I might be ready to run again by this weekend, but as of yet I haven't had the urge. Running that much for month after month really had me worn out. Besides training for a marathon (as if that's not enough) I was dealing with heartbreak, career change, trying to figure out where I was going to live, other crap that does not need to be publicized on my little blog, etc. I'm glad I had the marathon to focus on, but right now I am also glad to take a little breather.
Fast forward a couple months after training began: marathon is conquered (hell yeah), I have a new (incredibly handsome and charming) boyfriend that makes me happy, I share an apartment with my good pal Shawna, my new career rocks, and I am happy.
Hell yeah! Now, time for my nap...
