Marathon Recovery

I haven't been able to do much over the last week. I did some stretching and swimming last Monday and Tuesday to work down the swelling in my knees, but then I came down with a nasty chest cold that I've had ever since. (I'm sure it was a combination of fatigue, the chilly locker room at the Y, and no doubt my chi declined slightly after I had achieved my goal.) As long-time readers now, any time I get a lower-respiratory infection it totally knocks me on my butt, and stays for a while.
So, it doesn't look like I'll be doing the half marathon next weekend, but maybe I'll be a volunteer.
