Active Recovery

10 miles, 10:00-10:30 pace

My legs felt GOOD today. I had the usual soreness but my legs weren't tired. Once I started running I couldn't feel any evidence that I had raced the day before. This was the most I have been able to run the day after a race and it felt really nice. I decided to do some hills because my quads didn't get to much action yesterday with that flat course. I ran a nice two mile hill loop right outside of my apartment. the down hill section is pretty steep and about half of it was still snow covered so it was a lot of fun. Technical down hill running is my favorite. Today reminded me of sled riding as a kid. I always hated walking back up the hill but that never stopped me from sledding down. I thought I might stop after 3 loops but I was having to much fun running down through the snow I had to keep going.

This Week:

Monday 10
Tuseday 10
Wednesday 5
Thursday 10
Friday 5
Saturday 31 (LLTH)
Sunday 10

Total: 81 (probably more like 60 again, but we will see what happends.)

Good job on the 10 miler!
Aren't you going to taper for one day before LLTH?

Kim,

I will probably end up only running 1 or 2 miles on friday. If I do run five it will be a very slow pace. I hear LLTH is a really tough course, so it should be a challenging training run.
