Recovery after the 19 on Saturday. My quads were dead. They felt like bricks. I just plodded through this at an easy pace. But I thought back to the Dam 2 Dam run I did at Sandpoint Reservoir in St. George back in February. It was a 5 mile race. I was just starting my training and I was thinking back how difficult mile 4 had been. I'm still not even sure how I did that last mile, but seeing the finish line is powerful motivation even if it is a mile away. Now 5 miles is an easy run that I can do with sore legs and not a lot of heavy breathing. Then 6 x 10s hill sprints. My first one was a little shaky, but I did good after that. Just the facts.
