goofy training week 12

recap of training week 12 (11/24-11/30):
[day - mileage, time, avg hr]
mon - 3 easy, 26:50, 145
tue - 3.1 easy, 27:45, 163
wed - off (skipped the 2 easy)
thu - 26.2 race, 3:39:24, 169
fri - off (but went hiking)
sat - 3.8 easy, 47:16, 129
sun - off (yoga & abs, skipped the 5 easy)

mileage total - 36.10

it was a bad week mileage wise but i was intentionally pulling back for the atlanta marathon. i haven't taken 3 days off in a week since august. post-marathon, i was sore and stiff all day friday and saturday. sunday i could still feel a hint of soreness in my quads, and i figured it would be best to take the day off, plus it was cold and pouring rain. i hiked friday and 'ran' saturday, and would like to resume normal training monday. as much as i wanted to run sunday i knew i probably shouldn't. i'll cut myself a little slack and get some rest to finish out training for goofy. atlanta was supposed to just be "another long training run" and i'm glad i finished it injury free and am recovering quickly.
