My legs are still trashed and this run today shows it. I also mis-read my training plan and ran 5 tempo miles instead of 4. I was so out of it I went out to run and completly forgot my water bottle :-( I probably should have taken more time off to recover but here's where I am...looking at a 20 mile run on Saturday!

When I started my run I quickly revised my tempo plan after my 1.5 mile warm-up. My HR was saying this was plenty and my paces reflect that. I did achieve something new, I got my HR up to 178. That's something I haven't done in a while...don't know if that's good or bad?

I'm glad I have another 7 weeks before OKC...I think I'm going to need it!

This was a tough run. My legs are still trashed and I still feel tired.

Romans 11:11

Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

ah we all have those 'out of it' days- keep at it, legs will find life again!

If I were in your shoes I think I would skip the 20 on Saturday and run 8 or 10 miles then a good bike ride or something. That would still give you the aerobic benefits with less chance of injury. Twice in the past I injured myself the second week after a marathon by trying to come back too quickly. I don't think you will loose any speed. Just my 2 cents :-)

Trashed and still running is better than not running at all!

Dave,

Thanks for the good advice. The weather is really nasty here right now so I think I'll go to the gym and run on the TM. That way I can monitor how I feel and stop at any point, then jump on the bike and ride for a while. Maybe 10 miles running and 20 miles biking...?

Sounds like a good plan to me.
