I had planned a fartlek run today, but my legs are completely dead. Trying to fit 60 miles into 5 days is not working. I really need not to miss training days. It's too difficult to make up the mileage. So, I ran an easy 6 on the soft surfaces at Sugarhouse Park. I'm hoping to run a strong 15 tomorrow. And, if I get anal about my mileage, I may do another 4 this afternoon, but recovery might trump mileage.

Give yourself time to recover from the killer workouts you've been doing! I'm impressed with them...you should make your next easy run goal to be no faster than 7:30 pace - that would be a mental challenge for you (and probably a little too easy for me to do)! haha :)
