Mid-week 5.5-Miler

Today was my first run after our tough 12 miler on Saturday. As I expected, I was still pretty sore. I thought I might try a tempo run today, but I didn't have much in the tank for that. I did the first few miles at a 9:30-ish pace. There was a time (and it wasn't that long ago) that I would have been impressed with that. These days, that feels like something between a fast walk and a slow jog. After that I took a short walk break every mile or so to let my leg muscles recover. The goal of any run I do for the next week or so will just be to ensure that I toe the starting line of The Other Half injury free and feeling strong. I finished the approximately 5.5 miles in a little shy of 55 minutes. Not an outstanding performance, but I was glad to get in the miles. Activity Route: -- Elev.
