Three weeks, six days. That is how many days between the New York City Marathon and today - the first time I have run since the marathon.

I am happy to admit it now so it doesn't sound so much like and excuse, but my body was broken after NYC. I caught two colds and pretty much something or everything ached or hurt each day. Everything finally felt normal this week, and five miles this morning felt just fine.
December will be a month for some maintenance runs and some cross-training, if I can find time. After almost four weeks off - and six weeks since my last long run at altitude - I was a bit winded. It won't take too long to get that back to normal.
And then December 27, it all starts again. Sixteen weeks of training with the prize at the end being the 115th Boston Marathon on Patriot's Day - April 18, 2011.
