PMS

I am suffering from PMS.  No, Not that kind of PMS.  I mean Post-Marathon Syndrome.  I spent most of 2017 preparing for marathons.  Marathon Training for the Flying Pig started January 1.  Then we ran the Pig May 7.  Training started again June 1 for St. George.  Now St. George is over and I need to recover.  Of course the Wildwood Trail Marathon is in December but I am view that as fun and not chasing a PR.  I need to set new goals.  My near future goal is to have fun running some races and not worry about time.  Recovery from a marathon is both physical and mental.  I am well on my way to physical recovery.  Mental recovery takes some time too.  I need to come up with a long term goal.

Today Jim and I did a three mile easy run.  I let him set the pace.  Jim is amazing.  He didn't run for two months then he goes out and runs three miles at a 9:14 pace.  This was probably too fast but it felt good.
