Recovery run for me. Sat is still in my legs. I could really feel it on the down hill today. I wonder if that means I didn't stretch good enough post race, or because I didn't ice ......? Seems like the first run after a race that I actually set goals on is when I do the most thinking about the race. I really see the need for endurance training. The last couple miles I fell apart. Had I been running normal weekday runs of 7-10 miles I think I would have faired better on the last couple miles Saturday. Also, I am now a little more glad I took the few seconds to get a gulp of water and walk the 20-30 steps just about mile 5 (second drink station). I think that little break let me reset and gave me just enough break to give me the second wind to push on through to the end. On a positive note I like that 1.) my AP was below 7 for the race 2.) I now know I can run a mile in under 6 min. (need to through me off a cliff, but somehow I came in under 6.) :-) Happy day, hope you all have a good day!
