Recovery Week

Five miles of light jogging with heavy legs. I think I did about 11 minute miles. I didn't really breathe hard at all--which is what a recovery run is supposed to be all about, right? But my legs felt like they were giving me all they had. I haven't really done my stretching routine for a while now and I need to. I'm starting to tighten up all over the place. I'll need to do it tonight for sure.

I skipped the hill sprints today. I think I am going to start doing them just once a week. I'll do 7 on Wednesday and then stay at 8 until I start tapering for the race. I also think it is about time to retire the Glyceryns. I'm just not quite ready to break out my new ones at this point. I think I'll start breaking them in after my next 20 miler.

it's always good to take it easy when your body is telling you to do so. the magic cure for tired legs always seems to be a new pair of running shoes. :)

Thanks, allie. I'm looking forward to the new shoes. Right now, I'm thinking my magic cure is less running and more biking. It is amazing how little mountain biking hurts. (Well, I mean, how little it hurts as long as I stay on my bike. I've never come home from a run with a broken elbow or a big gash in the back of my leg, which I can't really say about biking.) But I'm also not doing the equivalent of 20 running miles on my bike, either.

Woo!! I love new shoes. I like to look at them and put them by my bed so when I wake up, they are there. It makes me happy.
