Marathon blues? Not me!!

I've been reading up on Marathons (something I should have been doing before I actually ran one), specifically post marathon recovery. To my surprise, the experts warn us about post marathon blues as opposed to post partum blues. They say that after months of training, the deed done, what is left! I say, there is plenty left - glad to have my Sundays back! No blues for me, thank you. But I am following all the post-marathon suggestions, and so far everything is going very well. I have no more soreness and the chaffing sores are healing nicely. I have started running again and no - none of my runs will be posted on Facebook anymore. These runs are for my own pleasure and welfare, and until I start training for another event, (which will probably be for a cause) you will not hear about them.



Here are a few pictures taken on the run....

Crossing the finish line...





I did it!  My first marathon at age 55!

    Who took all the pictures? I know the last one was taken by the Marathon group and all your pictures are so good.

    All along the route there were these photographers. I didn't pay attention to them since I thought they were there for other runners, but then I got this e-mail from Marathonfoto.com. You go on the site, type in your event, your bib number and your name and voila - at least 12 pictures of me! I was so surprised! Of course I had to buy them! $49.95 for all of them, or $29.95 for only one. Do the math, I wonder if anyone ever gets only one.
