Well,
You know when you have those days where you feel like you could run forever, where everything is just clicking along smoothly...feeling like Forrest Gump.
Well today was NOT one of those days. Everything hurt, nothing felt smooth, it was terrible. I kept looking down at my shoes wondering if I had grabbed the wrong pair. Blech.
Most probably a result of riding yesterday. My legs are probably just tired. I really need to get a schedule worked out to allow for max recovery between sessions.
Oh well, rest day tomorrow and then on to the w/e.

Some days are like that. Sometimes most days are like that. I can't wait to get to the stage where the endorphins kick in.

I had very little of time today at work to sneak down into the gym, but I did manage a 5K on the treadmill at a 10:15 pace. I'm so exhausted from puppy duties and averaging < 6 hours of sleep a night, I'm amazed I even did that, but glad.
Right now I have no chance of improving in mileage or speed due to serious time and fatigue restraints, but if I can just hold my own and not lose fitness during this time, I'll be satisfied.

hi, everyone!
Right now I'm training for a half-marathon at the end of May. I'm using a training program right now that incorporates speed work. I've never done any speed work in the past...just sort of plodded along at whatever pace. We'll see what the results are. Had a great 4-miler this evening. I usually try to run in the morning, but couldn't resist hitting snooze and getting an extra hour's sleep before work this morning

I did speedwork Tuesday and am planning a tempo run after work.
Roadbunner - You'll like what speedwork does for you. For me, it's like the long runs are then less and less like a constant pace in the mud. They do pick you up.

I ran 5 1/2 miles in 55 minutes outside today. I'm still taping my foot, but this is my longest run since getting PF in November. Yay!
Congrats to everyone else who got out there and ran.
