LOL, I think I can match you on the beer and pizza and throw in a chocolate milk shake or two!
For me, I didn't do anything last week after IMOO but catch up on my honey do list with the wife. I actually felt pretty good by Thursday, foot was still a little sore.
I did, however, have to race in a 5 mile run on Saturday as it was part of a year long swim, bike, run and x-country ski series I was doing. I told myself I'd only run if I felt ok, and would take it easy.
First two miles were cake, was at a 6:30/mile pace and was feeling pretty good. Then, there was a nice steady uphill in mile 3, I had NOTHING in the tank as a way of getting up that hill with any speed. Ended up a 7:40 or something rediculously slow for that mile. Ended up hanging on the rest of the run to finish in just over 35 minutes. Now I'm tired! I kept telling myself for miles 4 and 5 that this was IT for running for a few weeks and I needed to just be done!
Next few weeks will be fun workouts, swimming and biking with the kids, no HR monitor etc... little or no running for 2-3 weeks to let foot heal. Also thinking of an early spring marathon here too, after a lot of run focused workouts this winter!

Ironman still has your tank drained, eh? Still, 7:00mpm isn't too bad. Especially looking at the circumstances. Good job!
Normally Monday is a run day. I just dont feel like it. The weather is iffy looking, and I dont wanna be caught in the rain with my dog, she hates rain. I think I am going to swim and do a core routine instead.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

Fun stuff. Forget about the HRM, the watch, the time, the distance. Just go and relax. I'm enjoying it right now. I'll start getting the itch to compete in a couple months. Might run a marathon in Feb. Maybe. Maybe not.
