Caution over valor
Skipping the shake-out Saturday night was not the right move. My quads on Sunday morning were very sore. I had an agonizing 10 mile run on Sunday just hoping for uphills to take the load off my quads. I skipped the evening run again on Sunday night and took a nap instead. I don't want to head down the path of constant recovery between workouts for fear of having to gather too strong an effort to hit the workout splits then being further behind after every workout. I want to avoid the term "downward spiral" during this phase of the training because we are starting to get close. I don't think 5 miles around lake boon will be the difference anyway. But I did get my super sweet Tein front strut tower bar installed on my car. Check it out.
This morning I ran 8.1 miles into work via French Rd. I will probably run home the same way a bit slower.
That's all I got.
