I was a little sore still on Monday after doing 12 miles last Saturday. Regardless, I still made it out for my Monday night run and did my full 50 minutes. Same story on Wednesday.
Friday at work, we had a team building event playing Arena Softball. It had been a number of years since I last played Arena Softball (or any form of baseball/softball), and I was pretty beat afterwards. When I woke up Saturday, I was pretty sore but thought I was still good to attempt a 12 mile run. I was wrong. Midway into the first mile my legs felt like I had already gone through the hilliest parts of the run. I was able to push through for a few miles, but eventually I knew based on the pace I was going that it was probably best to pack it in and save myself for another day. In the end, I did a weekday run (50 minutes) on the weekend.
With as sore as I was this morning, it's a good thing that I stopped when I did. I think pushing through for a couple more miles (or more) would have left me pretty beat up.
I'm travelling for business for the first half of this week, so I won't be getting in any evening runs. With how I still feel today, that's probably for the best. I should be recovered by the weekend, and hopefully I'm in good enough shape to be able to do a full two hours of running for what should be my longest run of the year.
