Legs of lead
September 5, 2006Today was my first run since the 12-miler on Sunday. Luckily it’s the shortest run of the week, just 4 miles. And I’ve had two nights to recuperate.
Still the legs felt like they were made of lead. It was a bit of a struggle to finish the run. But on the positive side, I did manage to finish with just a couple short walking breaks along the way.
When I started today’s run I thought I might need to cut it short given all the aches and pains I was still feeling in the legs. But after the first mile I got warmed up and felt good enough to finish the 4 miles. Definitely getting stronger at this running thing, even though I’m not necessarily getting any faster.
