Pretty good recovery run. I ran nice and slowly in windier conditions than yesterday over similar terrain and came in a full 2 minutes slower per mile than yesterday, just as I intended. No major injury-type pain, but my legs were definitely fatigued and I am glad I have a couple of days to relax now before Sunday's 8-9 miler.
Friends are coming to town this weekend, which means I will be "off the wagon" for a couple of days. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how consuming this running thing can be, and with the Gobbler Grind now only 10 days away, I'm already full of anticipation for it. Going out to drink beer may not be ideal race prep, but at least it will be a mental distraction, something I think I could definitely use. I've come a long way, but there's a long slog ahead. The runs will be getting longer and the weather colder.
