Still taking it easy until the legs are fully recovered from St. George. Larry, Wayne, and I wandered through the hills of Lindon this morning at a very easy pace. Wayne's shin is still bothering him so we cut it a little short. I added another 1/2 mile after we finished talking, but still only got 4.2 miles. I'm not too concerned about the mileage until I'm recovered. I think Sasha refers to what I'm doing as active recovery, doing light, easy effort instead of just sitting around while sore muscles heal. Some guys at work have been inviting me to play basketball with them at lunch. Now that they are using light and dark shirts instead of shirts and skins, I might give it a try today. ... Well, I didn't play basketball today (because they didn't play), but I did survive some pretty heavy company layoffs. I guess my endurance extends beyond just running. It was still difficult watching good friends and coworkers leave.
