Finished off the 70-mile week with a slow 9 at Ben Geren -- golf course loop, then three laps around the tennis courts. GC loop was very slow; legs did not want to get going, and stopped twice to stretch. After that, they were better. Stopped back at the car to towel off and get a drink, then was able to go faster on the gravel trail. I'd say the last two laps constituted a moderate progression; I was probably down around 9:00.
Fifty days to Boston. Wow. It'll be here in no time. Knock on wood, once the AT and the sciatica or whatever it was subsided, I've been healthy. Just normal soreness, like I had today. Need to stretch more regularly, I think. Haven't decided yet whether to take tomorrow off or finish out the month with a few more miles. Probably just see how the legs feel after work. I think it would probably be prudent to take more days off in between hard workout instead of just mindless recovery runs over and over, or at least shorten those recovery runs. |
