6 miles easy on the Riverdale Parkway with Ken, Jon, and Albert. My legs don't feel too bad at all, but certainly there is still some muscle damage. I will keep things easy this week. My weight wasn't as bad as I anticipated after all the junk I ate the last two days after the race.

Here's a comparison of my race last year versus this year. More than half of the difference was in the last 10k (I subtracted out the stop in both years to get a better comparison). The miles with smallest difference were mostly those in which I stopped or the mile just before the stop (even though I subtracted out the time for the stop).

I ate almost a whole pan of brownies last night... it was heaven!

I don't think I'll be putting any 6 milers in for a week or two.

I put down a lot of ice cream and Pringles! And more ice cream.

I was more sore after Bryce Canyon Half. I really don't feel sore at all today strangely. Maybe tomorrow...
