Rough run.  Yesterday's run must have taken a lot more out of me than I thought.  I ran hard but I didn't think I ran this hard.  Anyway, today's average pace was about 10:30.  I knew soon after I started that I wasn't going to run the 7 I had planned.  I decided to shoot for 6 but even that was too much and I took a shortcut home.  I hope runs like this build endurance because otherwise, what a waste.

Good for you to push through 5.6 miles. Sometimes running is just plain hard, no matter how many time we have ran before.

Hey Bec, I was wondering the other day how Texas was treating you because I hadn't seen any blog entries from you. Crap, my RSS feed on your blog wasn't working. You've been putting in a bunch of miles. I've got it working now. And thanks for the encouragement, it was helpful today.

Hey Chad ~ You had an AWESOME progressive speedy run yesterday. Today's run is perfect for recovery. It is not wasted. Easy runs are so important to let the body process the hard workouts. That is how we improve...the hard/easy principle.

WAY to push through a run that feels hard! It comes in handy at the end of a marathon when you feel that fatigue but you know you have trained your body to keep going! GOOD JOB!!!!

From RAD on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 00:17:45 from 98.202.23.178

yes, Smooth is right. For recovery just sit back and relax in the run! Now you can remember what that last 5K of a marathon feels like - but there is no shortcut home :)

Sounds like a good recovery run. Nice job pushing the miles and pace on the progressive run.

Sometimes we see dead animals on the trails, sometimes we feel like dead animals on the trails :-)

Hey at least you pushed through and did it. I would have stayed home and watched Sister Wives instead.

From Chad on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 13:59:21 from 168.177.153.27

Smooth - I was actually thinking that same thing about the end of a marathon. Good advice, thanks.

RAD - There was nothing relaxing about this run. It just plain sucked. And just for the record, I took the shortcut because I've been worried about shin splints. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

QP - Thanks, that was quite insightful.

Scott - Sister Wives?

Texas is great! Loving that it's still 80 here. Thanks for asking.

I really miss FRB runners. I wish I could make clones out of you people so I can run with other runners.

Yeah- On TLC. My kids love that show. I get forced into watching it every week.
