Heavy legs, fast run
Today I ran 6 miles – 3 at about 8 and then 3 at a little faster than 7’s. It felt good and the fast 3 miles weren’t too hard, but in general, my legs were pretty heavy. It didn’t stop me from running what I needed to do, but I hope the legs don’t feel like that next Sunday. I’m guessing that my ride last night was too close to this morning’s run – I had about 14 hours between workouts, but I worked hard this week without a day off, so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. Tomorrow I’m doing a 5 mile race and am going to do the last 3 of it pretty fast, but I’ll take it easy after that until the marathon.
