How is it that after only missing 2 days of running it can feel like I've never run before? Such a strange feeling. My legs felt very clunky and it seemed like I was breathing way too hard. My achilles felt much better, though. I could tell it wasn't 100% but it really did not hurt (1 out of 10). I had thoughts of putting in a decent amount of miles today but decided it would be better to keep it short. Turned out to be the right decision. The achilles started to ache during the last 2 miles (maybe 3 or 4 out of 10). I ran at 5k pace for the last 1/4 mile and it felt pretty good. I have a feeling I am going to be a disappointment to the L2L team this weekend.

Total Time: ????? (Ran naked so there wouldn't be pressure to run a particular pace).

Its just that way Andy. I cant stand missing more then 2 days without working out. Because you know that the first workout back is going to be off no matter what. As for the race this weekend. Just change your goals to more of where your at. And less disappointment.

You put too much pressure on yourself. Please don't run tomorrow. Seriously.

Hope to see you at L2L.

Apparently you are the only one with your mind in the gutter. Of course I meant I was running sans watch.

So glad you tested out the legs and the achilles are happy. GOOD JOB running naked!

I don't think you can EVER be a disappointment to anybody/anything! You just expect TOO MUCH of yourself which is a good thing sometimes, but not when you need to relax and have fun. Hope to see you at the relay at some point.
