Long and Less Long Runs: 3-12 to 3-18

I just got back from 45 min in the dreadmill. My legs are pretty tired still from the weekend, hill work on Tues and hills on the bike today. Treadmill seemed like a good option, that way if I ran 10 min and still felt like cr@p, I could bail and go home. Not to mention it was dark outside by the time I was able to get to my run. Safer indoors. I managed to squeeze out 4.78 mi with some steady zone 2 work,maybe a little higher, I didn't have the HRM on.

I came home to a lovely dinner and clean kitchen. My support crew took his job very seriously tonight. I'm soooooo lucky.

Time for bed. I M BEAT!

I went for a run yesterday. (Run number 4.) 2 km without stopping. Listening to you ladies, I realize my speed is abysmal but I am working on running without stopping so I guess that's ok.

2 km in 13 minutes. That's about 10 min/ mile....

Well Yoda,
I would not wish heavy legs on anyone, HOWEVER, it does give me some degree of comfort to know that your legs still hurt from last weekend too.

I did a big day on Saturday( well big for me), rested my legs Sunday and Monday, swam and lifted Tuesday and Wed they were still tired!

I got on my mt bike on Wed and started to pedal and was like oh crap.....

I should know by now that if I am here, up to my armpits in lactic acid, that you guys are out there feeling the same thing!

Comfort in shared pain....

I'm knackered this week as well so glad its not just me. I wussed out of commuting today as I just felt really tired when I woke up (I had a feeling when I was getting my kit ready the night before I wouldn't ride). I think my holiday is catching up with me as I did quite a bit of riding (and beer drinking which always messes me about) when I was off. Had a big day yesterday in that I had a lunchtime run, a chiro adjustment and a yoga class also had a sports massage on Wednesday so my poor body has been bashed, prodded and stretched a bit.

Anyone else feel tired after chiro adjustments? I went for a ride in the evening after the sports massage as well but I'm not sure if I should have done?

I'm having an easy weekend - no long MTB ride with the boys just a short pootle with a girlfriend of mine to catch up on things followed by a beer at the pub
