I ran to school again. My legs feel great because I have not been doing anything lately, and I want to push the pace when I run, so I really have to maintain caution so that I do not push myself too much right now. The funny thing is that my legs feel great when I run, but when I wake up in the morning I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I used to always associate this feeling with the heavy mileage I was running, but now I am not so sure. Despite my attempts to not run fast I did get excited for a bit when a guy on a bike turned in front of me and I realized that I could catch him if I just sped up a little... so I did. My legs felt so good to speed up, but it was frustrating that my HR was over 180 and I doubt that I was going any faster than 6:00 pace (I timed a mile in 6:38, with less than half of it catching the bike, and the rest at about 7:00 pace). I ran a little extra in the evening. Probably a little over a half mile, but I will call it 0.4
