8 mile run this morning. It was supposed to be an easy, recovery run. Well the pace was slow enough (7:55 Avg.) but there was nothing easy about it. I was right on the edge of calling it off and waiting to run when things didn't hurt so bad. But I went out and they still hurt real bad. First two miles in 18:40 and then I stopped looking. I tried to use the stick last night but it just hurt too bad to apply any pressure. Isn't post race recovery great? (Red Stratus 424.6) 6.2 mile run this evening. My wife wanted to go to her mom's so I had her drop me off at the Post office by River Road and I ran one lap on the loop course there and then over to her mom's in the Boulders. It was a pretty good run because the weather has been a little cooler than regular. My legs still hurt every step of the way but maybe not as bad as this morning. 7:26 pace Avg. (Blue Stratus 428.9)
