Marathon Recovery, Week 2 Results

On Monday I posted "I'll be following Hal Higdon's Marathon Recovery plan for the next couple of weeks."

What I actually did this week:  Nothing. Nada. Zip.  Zero.  Zilch.

I did not walk, run, ride, swim, stretch, or sweat in any way, shape or form.  We spent most of the week out of town.  I packed running gear, but did nothing with it.

How do I feel about this?  Actually, very good.  I needed the complete break and was ready to run again this morning.  5.46 miles in 1:02:11, 11:23 pace.  Not fast, but faster than I've been since my marathon.  My last half mile was a 9:18 pace.  And I'm ready for more this week.
