My Boston recovery has been so-so.  My quads did not hurt like they did after the Wurtsboro 30k (lots of downhill in that), nor like they did after last year's Seven Sisters (lots of up AND down hill in that).  Basically, my ailments are like no other marathon recoveries.  My ailments are more like minor injuries.  My right quad was hurting, but it's seems better.  Probably 99% right now.  My left calf still has some issues, but I'd say it's 75% well.  Here's what I've been doing:

Last Wed, I did a 4 mile walk.

Thursday was an off day. . .I had a dinner event for teachers.  The Capital Steps performed for us, and they are hilarious.  If you ever have a chance to watch them, do it!  They play in Washington DC on Fridays & Saturdays I believe.  Their slogan is "We put the mock in Democracy."  Basically, they sang a bunch of parody songs making fun of politicians and policies.  Pretty fun stuff!!!

Friday, I did an hour of yoga (could not do downward dog fully and could not do one-legged dog at all because of the calf).  Then I swam and/or aqua jogged for 40 minutes.

Saturday, I worked the finish line for a race, and then I did about an hour & a half of walking/jogging in the Pine Bush.  I went with a friend who had also run Boston.  We talked a lot, and it was fun, but it certainly wasn't taxing.  My calf felt a little strain on any uphills and my quad felt some on downhills, but for the most part both were fine.  The soft trails helped, I'm sure.

Sunday, I worked the finish line for another race (our club has a side business where we do this).  Then, I did 50 mins on the bike at the gym and then 10 mins on the elliptical.

Monday, I joined the same friend from Sat to do another walk/jog session.  We went from Blatnick Park to Lion's Park and back. . .not sure how many miles this was.  This outing probably had more jog to it, and it was on the bikepath so that was a little more strenuous.  I didn't notice the quad or calf at all.  It was raining the whole time, but I enjoyed getting back into the running.

Tuesday, I met my usual club members for a run.  We did ~5 miles on the bikepath and some trails in a nearby preserve.  We ran a slower pace than normal, but it was still faster than anything I had previously done.  My legs felt heavy and tired, but my injuries did not seem too bothersome. . .I did feel them though, and that is why I decided not to run on Wed.

Wed, I did 50 min on the bike and 10 min on the elliptical at the gym.

Tonight, I ran ~5 miles in the Pine Bush preserve with a club friend.  We certainly didn't run fast.  And, the trails were great.  I didn't notice my injuries at all.  I'm going to do some stretching and massaging before I go to bed, but I think if I keep up the frequent rest or cross training days, I'll be fine in no time.  I certainly hope so.  I'm shooting to race the GHI Workforce Team Challenge on May 15th.  This is Albany's biggest race (6000+ participants), and my school's team placed in the top 30 last year so I'm hoping we can do better this year!  We have 22 participants, which I think is somewhat impressive considering the year before last, we couldn't even get 4 which is the required amount for entering a team.  I know I can run the event, but I really want to race it.
