Urban Trail Loop. My legs are nice and heavy from pushing some good workouts this week and having 4 straight days of running in who knows how long! I've got to get them back for SGM though!! Only 4+ weeks left, which really means two. I can do this, I can do this! I hung in the back with Paul and just kept a nice even effort. I was happy to see a little progression, especially on the uphills. The slower miles in the middle must have been the change in footing from trail to gravel etc. Only thing I can figure anyway. Chad had asked if I wanted to do 3 more afterward, but after my 8 I declined. I can tell that my legs aren't used to the pounding and I'm not injured, but I felt like if I continued on and did push more miles that I could possibly open things up to injury. So, I just went home to sleep. It was only 6:30 and the sun wasn't up. I got an hour of sleep before I had to wake up kids...blissful! Especially since I've turned into an old lady and went to bed at 9:30 last night too! AP: 8:48 splits: 9:05, 9:00, 8:37, 8:25. 8:41, 8:42, 9:08, 8:48. After kids got off to school I did P90X Yoga and wow, I forgot how hard it is (especially with at 2 year old crawling all over you)! BUT, it was so worth it afterward. I feel nice and stretched out and not tight and sore anymore. Perfect. Ready for an easy day tomorrow...then 18 on Saturday. Anyone want to let me tag along?
