Legs felt like I'd run 33 miles in the past three days when I started tonight's recovery run. They just did not want to get loose. Finally, around the four-mile mark (which seems to be my magic distance), they got going. It was definitely a recovery run (76:17 for eight miles, followed by an ice bath). Saturday's Crackhead distance is 18 miles. That will give me 66 for the week -- and there's still 16 weeks to Newport. Somebody asked on RWOL how many miles we thought we'd run this year, and I guessed maybe 2400. I'm starting to think that will be low -- maybe way low, barring injury or major burnout. But we'll see. I should put in about 1200 before June 1, and go from there. |
