Tuesday I took the day off work. A very last minute health and wellness day :) I got some chores done in the morning and intended on doing a long run at Westwood Lake. I was thinking maybe 4 laps which would be 24km.
But my legs were not feeling it after the speed drill the day before. I'm definitely taking a little while to adjust to this training schedule!
It was a nice sunny day and the lake looked beautiful but even slowing down my legs did not want to go up those hills and actually felt quite sore.
So after 2 laps around I called it a day. I sat on top of the bluffs for a bit and chilled in one of my favorite spots to be.
I ended up running just under 12k at 11:03 mins/mile! Not exactly what I had intended but I listened to my body...something I am not so great at doing most of the time!!
Wednesday I did my weights at coffee break and then went out for a run at lunch. My legs were starting to loosen up a bit but my left hamstring was feeling quite sore and tight. Not injured sore, but I could definitely feel it. I did an easy 10k (9:37min/mile) with the hope they would be recovered enough for speed again on Thursday.
