Day 60 (Mon - 3/1)

To run or not to run? That was the question today. I had a planned run with Flash during lunch today which looks like the only day this week we will be able to get out. However, with the 10 miles yesterday and my back feeling questionable I wondered if it is smart to go out for a run today. Well, smart or not I decided to go ahead. I didn’t make up my mind until I walked into the office after an offsite meeting and felt the spring like weather in the air. That did it. I had to get out today.

I told Flash that it was going to be a recovery pace and that I would like to take a shorter less hilly route. He was fine with that and off we went. The route was really nice. We traveled along a river for a while then across a busier intersection which leads to a bike path where we looped back to the office. The pace was perfect and I think it did indeed help with the recovery. Just getting out and moving seems to help loosen up the muscles. We finished off the 4.09 miles in 35:46 (8:43 miles). Not too bad for a recover pace. In fact a year ago I would have fought tooth and nail for that pace over 4 miles.

Thanks Flash for keeping me moving. Now onto the taxes.
