I really expected to have to struggle to maintain it, but things flowed well. Interesting thing about the recovery... 4 days post race and I suddenly felt like crap. I think I have a cold or something (which in itself is weird since I've not had one since getting Lyme), but I also suspect that it's part of a delayed reaction to the effort. Also... I've been looking deeply in to adrenal fatigue and found an article that points to some specifics that relate. I'll post about it soon. Oh... and thanks again for hooking me up with your brother! I may do his program in prep for spring marathons. @jim… yeah, I was very surprised at how well I hung on to that pace over the course.

Very impressed...also impressed with your recovery. And you cant beat out kicking a tool at the end. as far as your post long run depression...I dont think that is uncommon at all. Certainly post race and post marathon let downs and depression is fairly common, so I would think post long run depression would be also. Lyme may be a contributing factor with that, but I dont think you are alone when it comes to post workout blues. Once again...great race!!! wow..thats just a great race you ran. Very impressed…also impressed with your recovery.
