I thought I would be battling wet weather this morning but while I was out it was overcast but dry. The time for today was not important and I am glad they were not relevant as they were SLOW but faster than I have run all week.
So the recovery is occurring. The k's for the week were 78 which is the same as the week before the marathon. It is a bit further than I usually manage and I suspect that is because of all of the k's done in the weeks before.
Now need to set my mind on the Gold Coast marathon with just 2 weeks to go. I guess I will run long and firm this week (Sydney weather permitting) and start to ease off the following week.
My left knee area continues to be a significant problem. I am not sure what it is - sometimes it feels like a stress fracture but get better as I warm up and so that would seem to indicate it not be a SF. Itcertainly is getting no better and I am not sure if my slow speed this week is the injury or post marathon recovery. It is probably a bit of both. For the moment it will be training as usual but with an annoying and very ungainly hobble to start.

Take care of yourself Eagle. Looking forward to cheering for you again at GCM
I hope the next couple of weeks go well Ray. Look after the knee.
You're in good shape. Something more than the 'Eagle 3 day' taper might help with the sub-3.
Now that I'm back in Sydney I'll be doing the bay once or twice a week - I will keep an eye out for you. Just at newbie and a slowie (at 52) but inspired by your fitness and dedication! I'm sook54 on CR.
