This ended up being a pretty good week, but I wasn’t so sure about it at the beginning. I was still wrestling with the leftovers of whatever head cold I brought back from camp in Virginia, and my body was worn out. Add to that the fact that I did 2 of my runs in the heat of the day (vs the early mornings which I typically do during the summer), and it was a week of listening to my body and being flexible.
The biggest change was switching my Tues and Wed runs, but after my long 9 miler on Saturday I finished the week with just under 24 miles. I’ve got one more week of mileage in the low to mid 20s and then things will start to pick up.
Soreness in my legs is not a factor, but the arch of my left foot is stiff each morning. No pain, just stiff, and it works itself out in the early parts of each run.
