Recovery Means to Recover

Yesterday I attempted to run. In hindsight, I should have gone one more day before I ran. First I ran with our other stores' No Boundaries group. They had a Memorial Day morning run, which was nice. Afterwards I headed to the gym. The plan said to run 6 miles. In the end I ran 2.6 miles for the day. 

My feet were not really sore, but not really well. I found it difficult to keep going. So I stopped, and hopped on a bike, for a bit of cross training. I rode for 2 miles - hard. 

So the workout was short, but intense. As I have said, runners are a stubborn group of folks. We want to listen to our bodies, but we don't always listen. Tomorrow though is another day, and I will be working on 5 miles tomorrow - tempo style.
