My heart rate was a bit elevated during the warm-up. Garman recovery advisor said I was only "fair" recovery wise, instead of the usual "good." With my My legs tired going into the workout, I made an early decision that I would just get the miles and without any workout if it got bad enough. Luckily my lega held out better than expected... but now they're shot again and that's okay:) Garmin says I need 3 recovery days now. I wish. One time it said I needed 5 days after a workout, so I guess I'm making progress. On the bright side, the race predictor has me at a 3:00 marathon finish. I could see a 5 mins variance there. Good to see I'm on the right track.
Afterwards I felt like I was in a Tri having to force a transition. My in-laws are in town and were waiting for me to get home so we could all go out to breakfast. I showered and got ready in eight minutes. I forgot to shave one armpit.
