So the day before I ran the half-marathon and you wonder am I in any pain after the race? None whatsoever. This is why I rarely go for the result and on most of these races (especially the crowded and with a wonderful view) only for joy and connecting with others. I felt sooo positive the whole day. Like somebody would push on "reset" button somewhere in me. I also had origami workshop with a group of ladies with deaf and hearing-impaired ladies and we had so much fun while folding spring origami flowers! Yey - life is great! After some of the races, I feel less fine than normally. Especially mentally it can put me in some kind of post-run depression. Well whatever worked, worked miracles on this race.
Question for you: "What is your experience with post-run physical and mental state?"
Do not underestimate the power you have in all areas of your life!
This was the first run after half-marathon. I had so much energy to burn. I went short but rather fast - I just listened to the body - it wanted to go fast ;)
Daily run #677 on 9.4.2018
Ghostpoet was my running music... he sang: "Love, love will remain, Throughout the pain and the strain, Over the years,
Faith, faith has it's place, No matter your point of view, Or stance in the world..."
I've been running each and every day since the end of May 2016. The Running Streak continues and you can see and follow my daily pics also here: daily runs since 30th of May 2016.
