How fast will I run the Boston Marathon?

Monday stretch run (4.67mi)

Yesterday's run was a nice short and easy lunch time run with Jim and Bill. My legs were definitely still very sore from Sunday's outing, but this run was exactly what the doctor ordered. At first I was very stiff and things were slow going, but after a couple of miles I definitely felt an improvement and was able to pick up the pace, even if just slightly... I am 100% of the opinion that the day following a long run, it's absolutely best to get right back out there again and at least do a few miles, as I think this helps keep your leg muscles from tightening up, by forcing things to move around and loosen up, and helps speed things up for an overall shorter recovery time.
