So I guess I should've done that tempo run after all. Ah well.

Really I consider myself a reasonably good judge, and one thing I'm not is a total wuss about pain, elevated HR, etc. As I said originally, it was just one of those borderline days when I'd liked to have had a professional's advice taking into account all my parameters. My legs are still sore, but I did extra hills on last night's ride to make up for it. And I'll do ladder intervals on my run today, mmmkay?
