Thursday run--much shorter this time

RUN: 6.5 miles in 59 mins

This is usually my long run day, but two factors came into play. First, I still wasn't recovered from last Saturday; Second, I wanted to put my long run and long ride back to back on the weekend, like the plan says to. It will be more tiring, more realistic, and maybe by then I can recover.

I slowed down the pace and ran with LC and SH. LC was in for 14 miles, I would have loved to join her, but I had to stick to my own plan. Another example of the iron solitude. If anyone can run 14 miles it's me, and here I am skipping out.

I was so tired--no oomph on hills, putty legs, but I still finished. The fatigue is a good mix of mental and physical. Am I getting better as the week progresses? Not as fast as I usually do. It seems my body has saturated in terms of training and won't take too much more over what I'm doing now.

One more week, then the start of a taper.
