"Rest" Week

So this week was supposed to be pretty low-key in order to recover a bit from the last few weeks and to prepare myself for the hard training ahead. Sunday and Monday were very easy and I took Tuesday off. Wednesday and Thursday, however, have been intense. Good--but exhausting. Wednesday night I ran at Old Angler's Inn with the last 5.5 or so on the Canal at no slower than 6:15 pace, dipping down to 5:45 for a mile near the end. I felt like I was floating--it was pretty effortless running.

After getting in a relaxed 8 this morning, I did 6 more at the RnJ group run this evening, where another runner and I ran the last 1.5 or so at what felt like low 6 minute pace effort. I definitely felt awesome--but after losing my Swirl virginity at Rio Grande with Josh after the run, I was pretty damn tired. Despite my fatigue, I'm looking to get in something fast on the track tomorrow evening and go long on Sunday.

One other note: I have once again begun to log on Flotrack in addition to this blog, which is linked on the right hand side of my page. I have also filled in the last few months that were previously blank (which took quite a while...).
