Yep. As suspected my amazing marathon of a day demanded payment in the form of two days in bed. The pain was outrageous, that fatigue crippling, the guilt was ever present, the "I'm sorry"s were flowing and my friends were sympathetic and understanding. I managed to make it to dinner out last night because it was some of our friends last night, and it was ok. So not quite two days. That recovery time alone is definitely improved on some levels from my experience in the bay area, but I tend to think it is more the adrenaline from being on vacation and seeing my friends that really shortened the timeframe. Today has been a bit of a struggle, but I did hang out at another friends pool for a few hours and catch up with her. My exhaustion level and physical shut down dictated our hasty departure but it was a good time to leave and the kids and a marathon day of swimming, hiking and more swimming. Now we're home and Wrapping up the day and I still believe it was worth the payment.
