Well, what goes up must come down, in terms of workouts. My legs felt like lead today, and I didn't run a single mile faster than 10:04. Average pace was 10:18. My cardio capacity was OK-it was just my legs! They didn't really feel that sore, just heavy, until after I had been finished for a few minutes. Now I realize that my quads and hamstrings are actually pretty sore. I'm REALLY looking forward to my chiro adjustment and massage today.
No more Garmins on recovery runs-it's too discouraging! I'm glad I got the miles in, though.
I felt really good yesterday, but do today's difficulties mean I overdid it yesterday??
Mid-day: chiropractic adjustment and MASSAGE. The chiropractor told me the tenderness in my spine was a result from jarring it during lots of running and that it should go away on its own. The massage was WONDERFUL but went on too long, and now I have zero motivation at work!
PM: anti-sitting stretches |
