Recovery

The body is amazing. It's ability to recover from being beat up is unmatched.

I attended a seminar recently about how to keep your employees engaged (I'm an HR geek) and the speaker said something that really hit home. The speaker said his definition of fitness is your ability to recover. The fitter you get, the faster you recover. The faster you recover, the fitter you are. And now I actually understand what he means.

One day after running 13.1 miles, I feel like a million bucks! My hip hurts (it always hurst now) and I have a tiny amount of muscle soreness in my quads, but otherwise I feel fantastic! I've never felt this good after a long race! Now I'm looking for my next big race and can't wait to do it again!!
