Medium distance run in Indianappolis.  Really enjoyed this run, nice evening and getting some leg strength back.  6:47 average pace.  I kind of have a choice here since I am a bit overtrained this summer and slowing down.  Either give myself some rest or continue training. 

I'm going to burn through it, tell my body there is no rest this fall!

Dr. Murphy says....

Cut back on the volume, run fast, don't be afraid to take a day off or cross train.

Yep.

Steve maybe you should throw a different stimulus at your body if you are feeling a bit stale... some short, fast efforts to kickstart the system. And slow down your easy run to make sure you recover from them. Its just a guess, but maybe doing something a little different for a week or two will allow you to keep going and speed up instead of slowing down.

Thanks guys, I'm going to work some of those ideas in.

Or you could just retire? I need to win some races.
