The Good “Hurt”

This morning I was supposed to get up and go for another relatively easy run, but I woke up with sore and tired legs.  Not “injured” or “painful” legs.  More like “sore” and “tired” legs from a few days of pretty intense training.  This was the first time I’d felt that way in months.  Instead of running, I played with the boys in the back yard, had a leisurely breakfast and got into work nice and early.  I’ve never been so happy to take a day off running!

    I love the sore feeling. It means you worked something that was weak. I try to get that feeling every chance I get.

    It is a beautiful thing.

    Glad you are back at it. Are you going to jump into any races soon?

    That feeling means one thing…welcome back man!

    I upped my training load over the past few days and had my first legitimately sore leg morning today too. Feels so good.

    I’m awesome at “recovery”.

    Welcome back to the aftermath of endurance training Spector.
