I planned to do a 10-mile lactate threshold run today, but during my warm up miles, I felt pretty tired and sore still. Apparently my body is still adjusting to the higher mileage I've been doing. Every once in a while I have "one of those days" when I really don't feel good for whatever reason. Today was one of those days. I didn't want to totally give up though, so I ended up running three tempo miles and doing the rest at a medium pace. The three tempo miles were 6:52, 6:45, and 6:40. For the first time since I started running consistently in January, I felt like I am overtraining based on the soreness in my quads. I'm hoping those feelings will subside over the next few days. I will be off tomorrow, do a 10-mile medium-long run on Thursday, and 5 easy on Friday, so I'm sure I'll be feeling much better after three consecutive easy days.
67 degrees, humid, and raining lightly
