Recovery run + core conditioning. 6:30 am, 30°F, 36% humidity, wind 2 S, sunshine. My kids don't have school today (it's a teacher work day) so I didn't have to drive anyone anywhere or get home before kids left for school. So I slept in a bit and ran in the sunshine. Yesterday about half-way through my run, I caught my left toe on some jagged pavement and started to go down, but then managed to take a step with my right foot and didn't fall. However, that step with my right foot was pretty awkward and hard and I've had just a little tightness in my right glut since then. It's still tight this morning, but it's not too bad. I'm liking these short run recovery days. I think that maybe they do more for me psychologically than they do physically. AP: 10:03. Splits: 10:17, 9:56, 9:50, 10:02, 10:12 (the last two miles were in VFFs).
