Yup, long runs at oh-dark-thirty on Wednesday mornings. I'd been doing them alone forever, until a friend recently asked if she could join me. She and I were both training for yesterday's Girlfriends Half Marathon in Vancouver, so we were on the same event schedule. She runs more slowly than me, but that turned out to be good. It really forced me to do them little slower than I had been. Made a huge difference in how I felt afterwards too. (12 miles feels easy when done at 11:30 per mile! Long, but easy. :-) )

But, I digress. The point is, doing them on Weds means my legs are fresh enough/recovered enough from whatever long bike rides I inflict upon them over the weekend. And, by the weekend, I'm recovered from the run fatigue. Works out pretty well!
