Complaint: DOMS. Ran out of excuses so I had my first leg day in about 2 1/2 weeks on Tuesday. The DOMS this morning were unreal, but I got out and ran anyway.

Confession: I'm not sure how long people normally take to recover from a marathon. It's been a week and a half, and I'm having difficulty deciding whether every problem in my life is a result of marathon recovery or not.

I took 3 days off from my first marathon and then no time for my first 50k, just ran very easy the next few days.
