Don't ask me why I didn't take a day off somewhere within the 12 days, but for the most part my legs felt pretty good up until today before my run. The first quarter mile of my run my legs were hurtin! I was almost considering on stopping and turning around back to the car, but I figured worst case I will do a lap on the route I was running in San Antonio and call it a day. Well after the first mile my legs were starting to feel good and before I knew it I was running at a good pace and it just kept on getting better throughout my run. I actually ended up running a faster pace today then I did yesterday by 10 seconds! Sometimes I amazed how the body can react. Even though my body was telling me to take the day off it still bounces back and gives me a 110% to put in a good day running 9.5 miles.
Well being this is the twelfth day running it is definitely time to take a day off and will be doing that tomorrow during my travel day back home. Here's my stats for running twelve days straight.
This Sunday will be two weeks until the Colfax Marathon, so this will be my last weekend to get in a long run before I can taper. I will most likely still put in some high miles, but will tone it down a bit to make sure my legs are fresh for the marathon. Then it's time for the double marathon in Wyoming two weeks after that!
