Cut today's planned 18-miler short because of extensive flooding on the RT, plus some rather aggressive geese who thought I was running too close to their goslings. Went to the TM tonight to get the other 6. The legs feel a little heavier than I had anticipated after the 10K, whether that's because the water made me work a little harder, or because I didn't do my planned RR last night, or I didn't stretch enough, or all of the above, I dunno. Could be I'm right on the brink of overtraining, just as I was in early November last year; the taper was enough to get my legs back. We'll see how this week goes; I might dial back this week a bit if the legs don't snap back. Legs REALLY felt heavy on the TM for the first three miles, then felt a little better, which they never did this afternoon on the road. |
