Easing into it.

This morning I woke up feeling energetic once again.  After doing some research yesterday, I read that most experts suggest taking at least a week off completely from running after a marathon, then gradually easing back into a routine of some kind.  I decided to go walking this morning, and I did 3.5 miles.  It felt great to get outside.  I did find a training schedule that I think will work well for me to keep me going and help me prepare for a spring marathon, and I will start working from that schedule starting on Monday.
