Finished off the week with another race!(full review tomorrow) You would think with much less miles that things would be great but it's a time I feel things I don't normally. For example - I can feel my muscle from my foot to the side of my shin. I can also feel my achilles heal which I've never had issues with.
As I write this, I'm wearing compression sleeves on to help it. It's not bad but I only ran 6 miles Sunday so I always worry what it's going to feel like at mile 16 on. I decided to take an unplanned rest day today. In fact, I would not rule out being done and resting the remainder of the week. We'll see.
While I have not completely ruled out a BQ, I highly, highly doubt that it will happen. I'd be happy with a new PR and even if I don't get that, I'll be happy with a finish line beer! Ha!
Hope your training is going well.
Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!
I like the idea of aiming for a beer at the end of a race... Maybe I should do that!
ReplyDeleteI've had some unplanned rest days as well but I can feel it was worth it and necessary. Take it easy.
