I'm resting instead of running

REST DAY!

CP had me running this morning, just a 45 mins form run. No way, Jose. My legs, quads, back, shoulders, right knee...all complaining.

Today is 10 days out from the race, and I have a lot of recovering to do. I've noticed that I bounce back fast in terms of how energetic I feel, but that the good feeling is not a real measure of true recovery. But I'm also noticed that I'm capable of doing a LOT no matter how tired I thought I was. I'm willing to bet I can go into the race still not feeling 100% and still do OK just because my body is used to the beating.

At the same time, I'd like to come into the race at 115%. Energetic, clean, loose, light, razor-sharp. Not heavy, sludgy, fuzzed, and tired like I am now.

So start the clock. 10 more days to fully recover. Get to it!
