Stupidly hilly aves/fed heights/aves/memory grove loop (nearly a perimeter loop) with Holly at mid 8's pace to stay above the inversion. Hills included Virginia all the way up to the top at Tomahawk and Terrace Hills all the way up to 18th, among others. Garmin was nearly dead at the start and started beeping low battery a mile in, but it got within 7 tenths of a mile from the finish before it died. Legs are a little fatigued still from 2 days ago, but that was expected, and actually, they felt better than I would have expected them to.
My recovery from the 26.2 mile workout has actually been meticulously planned out. I didn't want to take any days off, but wanted maximal recovery, so I did 5 miles very easy at 5:30 in the morning yesterday, and then put off my run until nearly 10 PM tonight, so I had nearly 40 full hours off of running without taking a day off. I'll do easy runs for the next couple days to ensure that I'm fully recovered. Doing 26.2 at 15-20 seconds per mile off goal marathon pace as a workout would be a bad idea without proper recovery, so I'm going to make sure that I'm being smart and listening to my body very carefully over the next couple days.
