First of all, last week's numbers:

5 runs, 30.2 miles total, a couple of recovery runs, one hard 10 mile race, two speed workouts. Pretty good week. This week, the miles go back up to a new peak, probably, with a 16 miler on Saturday. The course for the 16 miler is posted as a more moderate course, but we'll see...

I mowed the yard again this afternoon, for a "cross training" deal.

Tonight, I went out for an easy "run as you feel" recovery effort after yesterday's hard race. 4.2 miles, 40 minutes more or less, 9:25 pace. It was supposed to feel easy, and it did. All the various running parts felt just fine, no pains or anything like that. Followed that up with most of the long stretching routine, just to help push the bad stuff out of the legs. Tomorrow, we've got 2000m repeats, and I'm shooting for 3 or 4 of them. Supposed to be "80% effort," whatever that is, so I interpret that as 10K pace. Hopefully, that matches Gilbert's ideas for tomorrow.

After that, a massage tuneup just to continue the recovery from the speedwork and Sunday's race.
