After the Marathon I was suprised at how quickly my body recoverred. The first couple of days I was very stiff and walking downstairs hurt, but by the Thursday I was ok.
Jen and I ran with Andrew’s football team on Sunday. They had a sponsored run around Furzton Lake (2 laps) to raise club funds. I was suprised at how hard I found it, although I have had a bit of a cold since Saturday.
Since mid-last week onward however I’ve noticed how negative I’ve felt towards running. Now I’ve achieved my goal of running a Marathon I’ve been left with a void. Motivation to run is extremely low now, and I’m trying to find another goal to raise it. In fact I was worried I’d end up not running at all anymore.
Anyway, I managed a run last night… wasn’t in the mood but Jen guilted me into going 
I really enjoyed it! With no required structure of distance, time, or effort, I was able to just run. I went exploring, places I’ve never been, I only ran 5 miles but it felt great! I guess I’m not hanging up my running shoes just yet
