Despite being extremely sore, I wanted to run a 10k to give me 26.2 over the last 5 days. I felt pretty good once I got started, but realized running Mile 3 I was going too fast to complete 6.2, so I slowed a little. At 4.5 miles, I stopped briefly to hydrate & stretch my calves ... and convince myself pace did not matter, just suck it up and complete the workout. I did kick the last 0.2 a little. Followed up with sauna, stretching, and rolling ... as I think I need to work out the lactic acid to hopefully help eliminate the constant state of muscle soreness I exist in.
