So yeah, after a hard run on Sunday…yes, only 10K, but a hard 10K…and a busy week/weekend…

I just, well, went for a run…5K…..and it wasn’t pretty….well, it was a beautiful day … the sun was out, lots on the trails, people on bikes, I hit every off road part of this loop….and yes, it did feel good, well the sun did

I know, I know…rest, recover………..and yeah, maybe active rest….but, well, what I do when I don’t really want to run…..

I did have other plans….maybe strength, a weights workout……maybe a swim…..but, well, I drove round a bit, thought about a few different places to begin….and well, I always end up at the same place.

An easy 5K…well, easy-ish….I know, I just made tomorrow’s evening run more of a challenge…

and yeah, the strain will continue through the rest of the week…..yes, I know, I’m 63, not 18, recovery takes a bit more time….and maybe I could have or should have just gone for a walk…..but it felt so good!…..kind of..it’s what I would have told those in my 5K clinic to do….but some days you just wanna be 18?

Tomorrow’s going to be another day, after a good night’s sleep, an easy bike to the office and home, and then a 5 or 6K run afterwards….maybe something slow……and yes, feeling sore, and tired does feel great…

I just know what comes next…….bring on the lactic acid!
