A clydesdale no more!

I let out an audible yelp as I took my first few steps.  As I got going, though, everything felt good.  Typical soreness in my quads and hamstrings but everything else felt good.  Was actually able to run in shorts and a t-shirt.  I think the really nasty stuff is finally behind us.

Beautiful morning for a run.  Perfect temperature and a very slight rain.  Another easy run while I recover.  Will keep it easy this week then start to ramp the training up again next week.  Legs still feel heavy but there is no real soreness.

I am going to run a few miles with somebody from work tonight so I only put in 5 this morning.  I looked out the window this morning and saw a pile of snow so I threw on my jacket before heading out.  I ended up being a little over dressed.  Other than a little tightness in my right calf, everything felt good.

PM

Nice and easy 6 mile run on the JRP with friends from work.  I think they are going to do this once a week and I may join them for the extra mileage on recovery days.  Nice weather and nice conversation.  I'm sure my heart was beating abnormally fast for the pace I was running.

I'm taking today off for no other reason than I can.  This week doesn't require much running and I'm going to take advantage of it.

Perfect running weather.  Still not much power in my legs but they are getting there.  

I'm a big wimp.  My plan was to at least hit double digits today but it didn't happen.  Went early to the club run and put in 6 miles.  Nobody else showed up so I just went home.  The kids have million things going on today so I figured it would be better to get a head start on things to eliminate some of the time stress.  That is so unlike me.  It was a nice recovery week although I wish that I had eaten better.
