great progression on a humid day. Always interesting/sad to see local race results where Greg and I could have easily won several races with good awards. We stick to the marathon training hoping for that perfect day when it comes. Hopefully the sacrifice is worth it.

Still tired from Sunday. Once you run hard for 7 miles of a 21 miles run, you get tired enough that it takes a few days to feel good again. I think I could be in danger of getting a slight cold too so I got 9 hours of sleep last night

I had to abandon the planned workout. My legs were garbage and not recovered. I was falling back and not feeling good and once I started getting slower George canned the workout. Apparently doing to loop on top of multiple 120 mile weeks and working full time is a little too much. You spend so much time balancing doing too much and training to get the best out of yourself. Sometimes you go a little over the edge and you've got to me smart enough to know when to pull it back. A few days of lower mileage should help me recover. I knew I wasn't right when I still felt beat and my enthusiasm for running was pretty poor.

back in the pool today to recover a bit. Decided to not run today in order to correct my over reaching and allow my legs to catch up

That's 86.5 land miles and 30 "miles" of pool running for a total volume of 116.5. I needed that break to recover.
