Week's Summary
I'll come straight out and say last week's half marathon wiped me out. The downhill nature of the course took a massive toll on my quads and I had zero strength to do much more than do easy runs this week. I didn't even have strength to do any final strides.
I was really worried about my half marathon on Friday night on account that I had no oomph whatsoever. I felt like I had run a full marathon, instead of just a half marathon (which normally takes me about a day to recover from). I did wind up paying a price in terms of performance on Friday's race but I am still glad I got out and had some fun.
I hope to be able to squeeze in some quality miles this week.
