AM: (8+ miles, 1:14:00). No pain!! yippee. My legs felt really dead at the beginning of the run, but felt much better as it progressed. This week, with the exception of my workout on Thursday, is all about recovery. I thought about not wearing a watch at all on all non-workout runs, but I realized I am connected to my watch and it would be more distracting not to have it ... PM: (4+ miles, 38:39). Ran on the grass at the U of A mall. Beautiful night for a run (50F) - they say it might snow here tomorrow -- I believe them for the mountains (it has been snowing there for a couple of days) - but I don't know if I believe them for down at 3000ft - it would be cool though, I am homesick for the snow (and yes, even running on the ice~ I still have my yaktracs and sigh at them every once and a while), it is December after all!! Greg has scheduled an extra day off this week if I feel I need it ... I doubt I will take a whole day off, but I might skip my evening run on Thursday. I would rather take a little extra time off and be rested than not take it off and end up being sorry I didn't. I will be ratcheting it up one more notch before my race in January -- and then we will see what these old legs can do! Have a good day bloggers.
