Still going.
Running
After the Illinois Marathon at the beginning of the month I took a week off, then I took another week very easy. Half way through the month I picked up my training again and I feel that I am getting back into shape pretty well. I had a decent run at my first Buffalo Trace trail race. Then I ran pretty well at the Memorial Day 5K at the end of the month. Of the seven times I ran in May, three were races.

Cycling
Cycling also took a bit of a back seat while I recovered from the marathon. Since then I’ve stepped up the quantity and quality of training and I definitely feel like I’m starting to get into decent shape on the back after a very slow start to the season. I did the two local criteriums, as well as a practice time trial on my new bike… all with slightly disappointing results. But I’m getting there.

Walking
I think all the walking really helped me recover from the marathon. Probably half of this was to and from work. The other half was pushing Will around town in the stroller.
