Easy/recovery run. Average pace: 10:09.

Weather: 65° , 70% humidity, winds calm.

I don't have to go to work today, so I slept in and ran a little later than usually even though I've been running later than I out to recently. It was nice and overcast when I started, but was sunny by the time I finished.

I was pretty tired this morning on account of the hard tempo work out yesterday morning and then the double last night. I took it really easy this morning. I ran my secondary 6-mile route in reverse. This way it starts and ends uphill. The last mile is much more difficult when going this direction than when going the normal direction. Splits were 10:57, 10:25, 10:10, 9:52, 9:32, 10:02. If hard days are supposed to be hard and easy days are supposed to be easy, yesterday was hard and today was easy. I hope I'm ready for hard again tomorrow.

I love being able to sleep in and still get a run in:)

Me too. It's like the best of both worlds.

You did GREAT!! You've had a hard week and your body needed an easy day, I'm glad you had the time to sleep AND run! Tomorrow will seem like a breeze!

I always feel like I have been run over by a train when I do speedwork!! And then you did a double run!

AMAZING!

Have a great weekend!

Those recovery days really can help, you should be ready for tomorrow. I'm envious of 65 degree weather, I'm missing it here. Good luck on tomorrow's race, you'll do great!

I just caught up on your blog this week--you may not get this message before you run tomorrow, but good luck on your 5K tomorrow. Hopefully the tummy issues are behind you. You will run a great time tomorrow! I feel it!
