playing catch-up

last week, if my memory is correct, i ran 5 days, and ran approx 25 miles. that felt really really easy, good, fast. one of those runs was an impromptu workout, progression run style, and started around 7:30 pace and ended around 6:30 pace over 5 miles.

this week, more running, but not feeling as awesome. my guess is that my legs are hella weak, and the regular running, even at low mileage, is catching up to me.

monday: off, which was silly since i could have gone in the morning

tuesday: 7 mile long run in the sleety nastiness, but i felt good after about having gone instead of sitting inside in my sweats with lawrence warming my lap - 8:00 pace

wednesday: 3 brutal miles on a treadmill. treadmills and i do not get along, especially after a long run and not enough stretching. i was hoping to get in 4 miles, but it was all i could do to get in 3 without falling on my face. on top of that, they were slow...like 8:40 or something.

thursday: 4 miles that felt relatively good, but not particularly fast - 7:40ish pace.

i'm hoping to corner dave next week to come up with a training plan, but my guess is that we'll end up being kind of gradual about it depending on how quickly my legs adapt to training again.
