Recovery Monday

Good morning.

Another sunny, warmer day in the big city. Must run today in shorts. Boston Bound calls for an 8 miler with Yasso 800's thrown in. I may skip the Yasso's and just do some intervals along the way. Who knows. I will figure it out as I go along. I am being a little careful to not blow a gasket before Boston with speed work. Not overly careful though.

Yesterday was a recovery day. I started the morning with 4 miles of slow elliptical. Later in the day I ran 6 slow miles. Body feels good. I am particularly happy with the low heart rate data in the effort zone.

" Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
