Now What?

So I've read a lot of articles in Runner's World about how much time to take off before you start running again but what I haven't really researched is how & when to start training for the next one.  This isn't because there is a lack of information, there is plenty.  It is mostly due to the fact that I thought anyone that would jump right back into training for another marathon was just plain crazy! 

Well, pot.....this is kettle!  So now what?  

I decided that this week, 3 weeks post marathon, was when I would get back to it.  Now, don't misunderstand, I have run a little (VERY little, to be honest) since the race but I haven't been sitting around doing nothing.  So I thought, a full week of training would be no problem.  Well, guess what?!  Oh, and I also decided to take the suggestion of adding another day of strength training.  My plan was to hit CG on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday.  Well......I made it Monday & Tuesday but by Wednesday my body was telling me it had other plans.  I haven't been that sore since I started CG back in May of last year!  I did get all my runs in so all in all, a successful week.

Let's see what next week brings, speed workouts start tomorrow.....

Wish me luck!
