12.3 mile morning run. I didn't wear a watch this morning so there wasn't a temptation to PR a third day in a row on this course. Throwing PR in to a sentence makes thing sound fast... not really. I'm absolutely trashed. I just can't recover from Saturday. But not having a watch today just let me relax and not try to keep any type of pace. I'll do that again tonight and then taper off hard on Thursday, and Friday... then hopefully go to the race on Saturday and not get too embarrassed by the likes of Nick, Dave, and possibly a couple high schoolers. (Blue Stratus 214.55) 3 mile run this evening. Well after my morning run and the soreness in the legs was still about a 8 out of 10 I decided I needed a message. So I went to Message Enve and used the free gift my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas. I know it's about time. I just struggle with them. This is only the second message I've had since October of 2006. But the girl did a pretty good job today and worked my legs out- mostly the quads. After the totally relaxing trip there I really didn't want to ruin the feeling with going out and doing a second run. I kind of wanted the message to sink in and last... But after a few hours of pacing around the house I finally caved in to a slow, easy run to try out some new shoes. I guess we will just call it an early taper. (Landreth 3)
