.. and I'm still struggling. I'm not doing any intervals or hard running and am still waiting for my body to give me the green light. I'm taking a day off every 2 or three days in the hopes that my endocrine system will repair itself enough to enjoy my running again. All of my runs are aerobic (although some are not as aerobic as I'd like them to be!) between 4:25 and 4:50 pace, but the HR is still very high. I have had one good one where I felt almost normal but that has slipped again.
I guess other people get hammered in other ways, I seem to get nailed in the endocrine department. My legs feel great - since the DOMS subsided 3 or 4 days after the marathon I haven't had any leg pain whatsoever - this is part of the problem. They want to go, but my body doesn't.
Anyhow, I ordered my photos last week so in the next week or so I should be able to put up a gallery of the best ones, including some fantastic shots of the marathon and NYC sights.

Thanks AR, it's good to know I'm not the *only* one! It seems everyone I know run marathons and then just pick it up a few weeks later, stronger than ever.
Hey DB, hope you're starting to feel better. Couldn't be worse, right? That was a nasty crash!
