Little tight in the hamstrings but nothing terrible. Seems like my post-30 inability to quickly recover continues.

Megan and I are going to a prime rib dinner tonight. We've been cutting back on our going out to eat, so I am looking forward to this. Happy Easter.

Nice work on the 5k win yesterday. I'd say getting the W and a good tempo makes it a success.

I was just thinking about how I've always been a slow recoverer but I guess I never ran in my 20s. You get no pity from me!

Just taking it in stride now. Hoping together some more mile-5k training to build some leg speed and strength prior to my key 10k in August.

Seriously, my first race after I turned 30 I was almost marathon sore. I told Megan I'm waiting to capitalize of my old man strength. I know it's a real thing.
