Post 50km Recovery

Running 50km on New Years Day with limited training was probably not the smartest thing I've done in a while, but definitely very exhilarating and motivating.

I've taken some time off to recover and get the inflammation in my hip under control that has been plaguing me since early December. Instead of running, I've been snowshoe hiking, working out at the gym, took a Yoga class (the first one in years left me sore in muscles I didn't even know I had) and skied a bit.

Attempts to finally get out and hit the trails again have been very reluctant, but it is time to get serious! Next goal on my 2008 list is a spring road marathon - I have some aspirations for time/PB, which means I need to get on the road, rather than plod along on the trails...maybe that's why my motivation is lacking ;-) Time to dig up that training schedule.
