Last week was tough for me. It was known as a “recovery week.” These occur ever 4th week of training. While I didn’t mind the mileage on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday, I did mind the mileage on Saturday. My schedule called for a 6 mile run. I ended up only running 5-1/2 miles, mostly due to the route we took and some weather that turned out to be pretty nasty...
Now, the logical part of my brain tells me that last week was good for me. I KNOW this. But my heart - which logic generally does not control - told me that it was a lazy week. A bad kind of lazy. It was a frustrating week for me. Needless to say, I was glad when Saturday’s run was over and I could focus on the coming week.
This morning I ran a little over 5 miles. I felt like myself again. The slug has been vanquished! This is a good week. Speed on Wednesday, recovery run on Thursday and a 16 miler on Saturday. If all goes well, this will be my first 30+ miles week ever!
I can’t wait.
