10.15 miles
1:19:35
7:50 pace
Had a nice 10-day rest since the marathon. Would have run a couple of days earlier, but got busy - was also enjoying the feeling of walking around with no soreness. It's funny, but after the marathon and 2-3 days of being sore all over, the past few days I've felt physically better than I did in days leading up to the marathon. No little aches and pains to ignore when walking around.
Today I took a lunchtime 10-miler at my marathon race pace. Felt that it should have been a breeze, but after the first mile, had to push more than a little to keep the pace up. Felt good to run pain-free though, and the weather was about 50 degrees and overcast - great for running.
Been thinking about what's next. Chris and Tony say they're up for the Ocean Drive Marathon at the end of March. That would give us 16 weeks to prepare - exactly what's needed for the "Run Less Faster" program I used last time. Maybe I could try the 3:20 program this time around. Found out over Thanksgiving that bro-in-law Joel once ran a 3:21, so now I have him in my sights.

Go get `em, Murray.
Great that you had a good rest and came back strong. Great that you can still think about "the next one." Even I feel inspired to get up and move when I read of your conquests.
P.S. -- Don't tell your dad -- you know -- what I said about getting up and moving. He'll make me do it.
