AM: 2.7 WU 3200,1600 2.3 CD 10:53, 5:16 + stick rolled the legs
PM: 5 miles + standard core routine.
legs are still not recovered from the race. Felt like running in quick sand. I think a few things led to this feeling. The main thing was that I normally would have drank a recovery shake, foam rolled, do a pool run, and take a nap after a long hard effort such as last week's race. I did none of these things last week but instead drank more coffee in order to drive back home. I then woke up sick the next day, only ran 8 miles, then took the next day off, then trudged through 4 inches of snow on my run Wednesday. I basically threw off my recovery routine and my running was off an on for a few days. That obviously is not good for my recovery. I need to focus on recovery as I get older.
Felt much better running easy pace home
