Is Recovery Over Yet?

It has been three days since Ironman and I am ready for a run or a bike ride, however the coach says "Take it easy for a couple more days".  What?  I need to do something, I'm already putting on the pounds :).  Alright, I'll go to spin class tonight and spin lightly for about an hour.

I was going to hook-up with my marathon buddies over the weekend to run with them, but they are planning a 20 miler; just a little too far for me.  So I think I will just run an easy 6-8 miles and then go for a bike ride with Al.  He loves to go over to Elm Creek and ride the mountain bike course...twice!  "We're going around again dad!"  

It is about 24 days away from Twin Cities Marathon and I am already feeling race day anxiety...I have a lofty goal for this marathon and it would be awesome if I hit it.  

A friend and college of mine has signed up for Ironman Wisconsin 2009.  She has been doing triathlons for over three years now...she's a strong swimmer,  a good bicyclist and runner.  She is going to do GREAT and I look forward to helping her out during her training year.  Go Jen!
