I'm not sure what to do now.  I need to take some time off to rehabilitate my right leg.  I have that bad ankle and I had some IT Band/Hip Flexor/Groin issues all summer. I was going to go mountain biking  this week since I had to sacrifice a lot of that for marathon training but now the weather sucks.  Oh, and no matter how much of whatever I can find to eat, I can't stop feeling like I'm starving.

I finally felt like running again and decided to get out and see where my leg is.  I probably ran a little too hard, but it was good to get out.  I noticed from marathon photos that I run with tension in my shoulders.  (I also noticed this from sore shoulders after the race.)  I paid attention to it as I ran today and I do run with tension there.  I had to keep forcing myself to relax them.

 My hip flexor didn't hurt, but I had some pain in my right knee.  I'm not sure how much running I should do right now, but I don't want to lose fitness.  I'll have to think about where to go from here.
