AM - 4.5 miles, caught up with Jake on his cooldown then added extra. Right hamstring feels too tight and too loose at the same time. Workout today is definitely cancelled...we'll see about tomorrow. I did prove to myself yesterday that I am not a slave to my mileage goals - I was at 69.4 last week and was supposed to be between 70-75 miles. It's so pathetic how much I care about that 0.6 miles that I know makes no difference in my training, but it took a lot of will power not to run! Instead I did a bunch of upper body strength training as my start to "the ultimate beach body in 5 days" (going to the beach this weekend!!). PM - 5.2 miles at 8 min pace. The first mile felt like my left leg went to the spa while the right leg got thrown down the stairs a few times. But surprisingly, throughout the run they seemed to balance and almost even out. Weird, but good!
