5 mile run that was completely brutal every single step of the way.
i will be running the ogden half marathon next saturday
hopefully my run today is no indication of how race day will go.
has me a little worried so i read up on a few things marathon.....
"After 3-4 weeks of full training, you should be completely recovered from the marathon, and ready to consider racing. Be forewarned. The first race after a marathon is usually a blow to the ego (how nice of them to mention that. i am now positive saturday will be an epic faliure) because all the training for the marathon has made you strong but slow (what if i am already slow....), and you haven't had time to re-build your speed."

"Colds
Upon completion of the marathon the immune system can become depressed. This happens because of the physiological hit the immune system took because of the stress from the marathon. Things like the flu, colds and even other upper respiratory tract infections can potentially become a problem in the days and weeks to follow (right where i am at now). The best thing is to work towards prevention. It is important to take care of yourself after the marathon. You can do this by getting more sleep than you did before the race. You will also want to resume a well-balanced and nutritious diet right after the marathon. It will also be important to focus on re-hydration (oops...) the first week after the marathon.

You might even consider an herbal preparation like Echinacea, but you should only do this once you have reviewed the information on the product.
If you do get the flu, a cold or an upper respiratory tract infection you need to remember to get plenty of sleep, watching your diet and remain hydrated are important weapons. Also remember that if you have a fever you should not run. If you are taking any medications that are either over-the-counter or a prescription, you should not run either (you mean like prescription cough medicine and mucinex....oops again). If you have a persistent fever or cough you should seek professional care (seriously, who has time for that? and now you are wondering how i am taking prescription cough medicine with out seeking 'professional care'....don't judge me!). The last suggestion is to consider herbal remedies because of the therapeutic benefits.
You can resume easy running when you have no more fever, aren’t taking any medication and you have no residual fatigue or malaise. You shouldn’t resume hard running until you have no residual of the respiratory tract congestion (really, could i have done anything else wrong?), which is usually two to three weeks after you have resumed easy running."

over and over and over again.'
