I had a really great recovery week. It's surprising to me that I was able to ride my mountain bike up steep climbs, but could barely run at all. At least I'm getting my heart rate up! We have a friend who hikes a lot, he told Les he didn't think he could get a good workout on a bike... until Les took him riding! As soon as the road turns up, cycling gives a great workout. Of course the downhills are fun, too! There's no coasting during a marathon.

Saturday: Run easy, no more than an hour
Result: Rested. It's raining steadily here and I have no reason to push myself out the door! Yay for a Saturday off!
As you can see, right now I can get my heart rate up higher on the bike than running. As my legs continue to recover, I know I'll be able to get a higher HR running as well. My plans for now are to continue doing both. I haven't signed up for my next marathon, but I'm pretty sure there will be at least one in 2013.
Total for the week:
Running: 5.06
Cycling: 16.17
Total: 21.23
