The truth is I'm just not running much right now. My priorities the past month were work and the Jaguars, and now I'm focused on preparing for Kenya. When I return I'll schedule a race, and start running again. I don't know if my training this year has "earned" down time, but I took it anyway.
What I notice is that my body now hurts when I don't run. That's never happened before. It's a different pain than training brings, but I've become very stiff without working my legs out and stretching regularly, and that tightness creates sore muscles in my back and legs. So I'm tired of that, and tonight's quick leg-stretcher with Henry (just around Manette after work) was incredibly pleasant.
