July 13 - 18 Runs

[Susan Otcenas]

I'm not usually sore after my long runs. I just get that nice tired feeling in my legs that lets me know I got in a good workout.

After Friday's run, same thing. Yesterday (Saturday) I did a 72 mile ride, which would normally not overtax me at all, but I definitely noticed that my legs were not quite as peppy as usual.

And today? hoooweee, are my quads sore! I guess that's the result of the two back to back. I've been trying to do my long runs mid-week to avoid this sort of thing, but this week it just didn't work out.

I've decided to stick to upper body work today.

Might be time to start doing the ice bath after your long runs. It can make a big difference.

I did a 4.5 miler on Sunday AM. I wanted to do 6 but I'm just not feeling up to it right now. I'll try again next Sunday. I am getting frustrated that my pace is so much slower than it used to be, but it also gives me something to work towards.
