whew! That 20 miler on Saturday really took it out of me!  Not that I expected to blow it off like nothing, but today I was still just dragging.  The good news is my legs didn't really hurt like yesterday...I just had zero drive and everything was still sluggish and tired.  I was going to try for 10 today, which is definitely less than normal for a Tuesday, but after about 3 miles I decided to pack it up and call 8 miles good enough.  Don't want any injuries.  Knees, ankles, and hips have definitely felt the mileage, but I think it's getting better over time, especially where I'm planning to plateau on the mileage until school's out at least.  Use this week to recover a bit and then focus on quality until summer comes around and I (maybe) have a little more time.

Felt much better today.  Did the Bonneville Shoreline-North Logan loop.  Legs still are not 100%, but it was a huge improvement over the last two days.  I was able to push the pace a little bit and still feel fairly comfortable.

Felt really good today as well.  One small lingering pain that shows up once in awhile behind my left knee, but other than that the run today was completely pain free and felt wonderful.  Now if I can just get that recovery time down from my long runs...

Longer run on the River Trail past Guinavah Malibu campground.  I think my aerobic endurance is starting to improve a lot because this run felt like nothing.  I also didn't notice any pain from pounding or prolonged running in general.
