Main side effect of yesterday's activity was not a sore back or sore legs. It was sore abs from last night's little ab session at the AC. Really hard to bend over or cough or anything of the sort until some NSAIDs kicked in in early afternoon. After that, I was fine. Took care of some things that needed to be taken care of this afternoon, like filing FAFSA and my taxes (one refund, one with taxes owed), then went for a 10K recovery run on the riverfront. The weather was absolutely perfect -- 50 degrees, just a hint of a breeze, not a cloud in the sky. It felt like I was running SO slow -- and I averaged 9:15. I would have been thrilled to average 9:15 in the LRM 51 weeks ago today. If I had, in fact, I might have just checked 26.2 off my bucket list and then moved on to something else... naw, I wouldn't either. I can't be satisfied with that. Now if I'd run a BQ on my first marathon, I might have called it quits after running Boston, but not a 4:02:XX. Today is my first prescribed day of recovery doubles on Pfitz, so I wrapped up the day tonight with another easy 5 on the TM to get to an even 11.25 for the day. Considering I ran 80 miles last week, my legs feel remarkably good. Knock off 75 this week, then a stepdown week.
