5:10 am. Ran to work today, have I mentioned that I hate that run, it takes so much more out of you to deal with traffic, wind and dust. Anyway, felt pretty good, I struggled to decide on an adequate pace, I wanted to push it a little bit but I wanted to save myself for Saturdays Marathon too, so I pretty much ended up halfway between where I should have been and where I could have been. Which was a good feeling to be in control of my run and know I had more in me if I wanted but had some breathing room. 14 Miles in 1:38:00 7:00 min/mil average. Avg. HR 150 Max. HR 160
I had Britt give me a massage last night. It is amazing how much a good massage will show you how bad off you really are. I thought my legs where dealing with this 100 mile week pretty well so far, but man when she started digging in and finding all the knots in my muscles it made me realize that maybe I have just learned to deal with constant pain more than I thought I had.
