Pushin the easy button...............................
Did a five mile easy run last night. Spent most of the time playing with my posture and feeling my feet leave the pavement. I also forced myself to walk a bit at 1.5 and 4 miles just to make sure I was going easy. Didn't track the time, but it was somewhere in the neighborhood of an hour for the same distance I did in 48:42 the night before. Now that is what I call an easy run!
They say it is just as important to have easy days as to have speed days. These days remind your body of the mechanics of running, but don't stress it to the point of fatigue so it can be working on recovery while you continue to work towards your goals.
Tonight is a night off from running. This means I get to go grocery shopping...Oh boy!
One of these days I just might get a life... Oh wait! That's right! I had one once upon a time and all I wanted to do was what I am doing now... No complaints from this gal...
