Evening miles on the treadmill. Safe to say I'm recovered from Saturday/Sunday. My legs felt alive tonight, it's been awhile since I've had that pop. Just cruising along -- 8, 7:30, 7:30, 7, 7 -- like it was nothing. Two things kept me from going further -- it reeks in the treadmill room in the evenings, the place is like a slaughterhouse full of people; and I wanted to carefully increase mileage this week. With a long run coming this weekend I want to make sure my increase over last week isn't too dramatic (no more than 10). I realize my weekly miles are still low enough not to really harm by increasing, but I'm playing it safe. If there's counter-arguments to that I'll listen, but if I slowly increase over the next 6 weeks I'll easily be where I want to by Moab (40-45/week) and that'll send me into the spring/summer in good shape.
