Unimpressive run

Activity: Run
Mileage: 3 miles
Time: 39:42 -- 13:14 pace
Location: Home Treadmill

Here is what my schedule is SUPPOSE to look like:

Sunday: Long-ass bike ride
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: 3 miles, easy
Wednesday: 3 miles, good pace if I feel recovered
Thursday: 4 miles, easy
Friday: 3 miles, easy
Saturday: 5 miles, easy
Sunday: 10 miles, easy

I skipped yesterdays run. Two things got in my way. First, I was exhausted as hell (lack of sleep and legs still sore). Second, I simply ran out of time. My run suffered the consequences.

As you can see from the splits above, today's run lacked any kind of glamour. ALMOST skipped tonight's run as well, but Erin talked me into it. She has a way of saying, "You know you'll feel better afterwards" that gets me moving. I took it step by step. First goal was to put on my shoes. Second goal was to get on the treadmill. Third and final goal, finish three miles.

I'm a little surprised my left shin was aching. I haven't run since Saturday and I was on the treadmill. Interesting.

There is a small chance I will pick up Tuesdays mileage somewhere along the way, but I won't stress over it, if I don't.

I spoke with the silly dude who cautioned against the Katy Flatlands Century, and he said it was OK to be tired from it the week after. And, drink up, you no doubt lost a lot of fluids on the ride.
