rode my dinky-ass commuter bike out about four miles and started the log run with the team. The whole philosophy behind the long run is to start slow but finish very strong.  Progression is the key.  Felt tired throughout but toward the end I got felt pretty good.  Ended up going too fast to start the fast portion but I went with it when I felt good and it was a fast ending for the most part. It was really rough riding that bike back home.

8 miles recovery run.  Snow blowing in my eyes. 32-34 degrees out. Mind you the average temp this time of year for this area is 58 degrees.

5 easy.  Legs are trashed. Couldn't go much faster than 8:00 pace and still call it easy.  Also winded by three flights of stairs.  Nice easy recovery day today.  Just too damn worn down due to the combination of running hard these past few days and lack of sleep.

My knee is aching, my foot is sore, and I'm way too tired.  Not going to run.  Pushing it today won't serve any purpose with Boston two weeks away.
