This week was the beginning of my recovery from running 26.2 miles.  And it has been a week of thinking about that achievement, enjoying many fond memories, and probably talking about the race way too much with my friends.  It is hard not to want to share the experience with my friends after having spent so much time this year preparing for it.​  (Thankfully, most of my friends have been patient with me this week, indulging my tendency to talk 'running').
