7.5 outside recovery run. Felt slower than slow and I let that bother me to much. I always hurt after speed workouts (like yesterday & Saturday) and now I am remembering back to Summer 2011 when every time I tried to do more speed my low back would teeter. So I think I am going to go back to just trying to run a good effort everyday and forget the crazy speed workouts. It's not serving my body well at this point. I am going to work on getting my cadence to a good clicking effort each day and keep it at 7-8 miles. When UVM is close, I will add in 2 long run days a week. I should be good to go. Better than getting injured. Wearing 5 lbs of extra clothes is bugging me. I want it warm now! I feel so bogged down outside. UGH!!!!!!!!!! Oh, around 5 miles, a dude that lives in my neighborhood came trotting up next to me and said something. Scared the hello out of me. I had headphones on so I screeched out loud. Keep in mind this was 6:15 in the morning. Holy motha! Kyle runs, has run some long distance races, done some tri's, an ironman and I believe a 50 mile. He works with Davey Crockett. He took great delight in saying "YES! I get to tell everyone that I caught up to Lily". Recovery runs suck!
