I have sicker than a dog the past few days. I have also had to take 2 days off. Either of these things on their own is ok, but put them together and you get a very grumpy runner. I cant remember the last time I took 2 days off. I have what I call 'restless leg syndrome' and there is NO way I wouldnt have run this morning - for my sanity mostly. The bad thing is that you are so raring to go and run, that you overestimate how strong you are. I went too far and too long and feel great. So great in fact that I will log in 3-4 slow ones at some point this afternoon/evening, depending upon the availability of showers.
11 slow miles at 2am. I walked 10 minutes after my run so I wouldnt cramp up.
20 freezing laps in the pool.
3-4 this pm (not logged in yet)
Porridge is the best recovery food.period.
