Again two recovery runs today: 5 this morning to SHS and back, 4.25 with Jen at Creekmore Park. Slow, slow, slow. Legs still feel heavy and tired, which makes sense after 88 last week, but got through both runs OK with no issues. Jen did her run fartlek-style -- run when she wanted, walk when she wanted -- and seemed to get stronger as the run went on, although she was glad when I told her she was done. She never wants to know how much she has left to do until it's done for some reason. Me, I want to know, to get that adrenaline surge of gutting out the last two reps or the last mile. She's the opposite. OK, I can handle that. Also ordered a Valentine's Day present for Jennifer today (if you're lurking, Jen, I'm not going to give you any hints). Work tonight, then off tomorrow to take Jennifer to Fayetteville, Bordino's, and the Hog game. Probably will get in a morning ROUD. Eleven would get me to 275 for January, which would be a nice start to 2012 (and 54 miles over my monthly target). |
