What a difference a couple of days make........................

It was truly amazing how much better I felt when I headed out for my scheduled four mile run today as compared to how I felt last Wednesday. It was a really good decision to take that extra day off both mentally and physically as not only did I have more energy, but I felt mentally excited to be running instead of dreading each step.

My legs were tired when I got home so I know I have not fully recovered from the trail race as of yet. Tomorrow I am scheduled to do my long run for the week, nine miles. Note to self: Find time today to do some really good stretching or your a$$ is going to ache like crazy during the last several miles tomorrow.
