I think I now have a greater appreciation for the importance of recovery runs.
I did a short, slow recovery jog tonight, and boy was my body not happy with me!
Luckily I was able to wait until Tim got home from work so at least I didn't have to push the kids in the stroller.
The first mile or so my legs felt like lead weights. I couldn't believe how tight and unwilling to run they felt. The rest of me felt pretty good, so it was shocking that my legs didn't want to cooperate.
Maybe I should have waited one more day to run again, but tomorrow is going to be crazy-busy and I didn't know if I'd have time to run.
Anyway, I'm glad I did it, even though it didn't feel great.
Today's stats:
Distance: two miles
Time: 25:26
Pace: 12:43 minute/mile
