Weather - 77 degrees, sunny, slight humidity. Got up early this morning, and being in the Quad Cities I decided to do a long run along the Mississippi River bike/run trail. I found that the 7 mile race did not take much out of me - no soreness or stiffness, and energy level was good. I usually won't run hard 2 consecutive days, but it is not everyday I get a chance to run in a new and beautiful place. The trail was flat throughout, and I ran 1:30 out, and 1:30 back, with an average pace of about 8:40-45. That would be approximately 20 miles for the run. I am back home now, and feeling a little stiff, but I can walk down stairs without a problem, so it should only take a couple of days to recover. #254 |
