Well the weekend was a bust for running but was great for time with the family.  I will take a great time with the family any day.  Back at it again this morning.  It was warmer (68) but calm.  I felt good after the two days off but just ran easy to kind of get back in the groove.  I did add in 6 x 100 m strides at the end and ran them pretty hard. Trying to get my legs used to running faster.  Hoping for a good week of running as I travel down to Huntsville.

Sometimes an occasional extra day off can do wonders. Even better when you can spend that day with family. Good luck with the run week and travels.

I am trying not to stress out if I miss an extra day. I guess I am mellowing some as I get older. It probably does help with recovery every now and then. Having fun with the family sure makes it better.
