Post-Race Recovery Is Going Well

My recovery from last Saturday's ultra is going well. 

I'm almost back to my average of 17,000 daily steps. 

Tomorrow I'm having a massage. I might also have my first post-race run (though I might save that for Sunday). Thank you for hanging in there with me. For your words of support, for your emails and text messages, for your advice. It's meant the world to me. Some of you have asked how I'm doing since the race. Fine. It's not like I'm some elite athlete or anything. Just trying not to take myself too seriously. Someone once said, Don't ask yourself to do something beyond your ability. Ask yourself what you need to do NOW for a happy life. That person you were 30 years ago is gone. But you're still a person with talents, abilities, skills, hobbies, interests, and goals. That's what you should be pursuing. 

Hoping to run again soon,

Dave
