There is something incredibly tranquil about an early Sunday morning. The family is still asleep and the coffee is hot, and I am sore from my 18.6 miles yesterday. It doesn't get any better! I did 5-6 daily throughout the week, and really only intended a 12 or so this weekend, but I was feeling good so I pushed on . Sometimes it is best to listen to your body and revise plans as you go. Rigidity in workouts can be a burden. Listen to how you are feeling and go with it. Sometimes you have to push, but most of the time your body won't lie.
Run long.
A discussion of fitness,nutrition, health, and anything else that comes to mind.
