I could barely walk down stairs this morning to get the paper. The SLC Marathon really trashed my legs. With that said, since I’m really eager to get back into the training routine, I headed out for a very slow pace jog/shuffle. For this workout, I shuffled over to the Lions Rec Center where I completed two hours on the elliptical machine then on the way home I completed six laps around the softball complex at Big Cottonwood Park before calling it a day. In total I was able to get in an even 16.0 miles.

While watch the Sunday morning news shows, I completed my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups.

16 the day after a marathon like that?!? Are you even human?!? Nice 'shuffle' run - I'm sure it was more around my pace :)

Oh no, shuffle means shuffle in this case… I was really not going much faster than walking and anyone running a 10-11 minute pace would have dusted me. I'm sure most people in that park were wondering what was wrong with the poor, thin, tall guy. However, a lady who was walking her dog proclaimed, "You must have run the marathon yesterday." She turned out to be a retired marathon runner who knew all too well about the day-after shuffle.
