It has been nice to sleep in this week (spring break, hubby gone and babysitters who don't want to get up at the crack of dawn to watch my kids while I run). Two weeks ago when I had a heavy training week, we were in the West Indies and I got to sleep a lot. Sleep certainly helps with recovery. Easy 5 miles outside. It smelled so clean and fresh after yesterday's rain. I kept the pace super slow to recovery from yesterday's speed and tomorrow's long run (20 miler...yikes!). I saw the AFHS track team out running. 48:35 AP: 9:42 9:56, 9:45, 9:42, 9:38, 9:29 - nice and slow I'm nervous for tomorrow's 20 miler. My two 20 milers I did for SGM were horrible. I've logged a lot more miles since last summer and I kinda know what to expect, but I really don't want a BUST! Positive thoughts, slow mile splits and great company will hopefully make the nerves go away!
