Recovery day.

I've been reflecting a bit upon the past season, yesterday's 'fun run', training advice from Sasha and all that stuff (I had a long drive home alone).....

Starting tomorrow I will do what Sasha recommends and run 4 miles a day 6 days a week and then take Sundays off. I am starting to see my potential as a runner after years of feeling I would never be able to run because I was too slow and too heavy.

Also - time to get back on my diet and eat healthy again and see if I can get a few more pounds off - or else pack on the muscle. Until the end of the year I will switch over to my strength training workouts (weight lifting) and then will switch back to the endurance training in January.

How are you feeling after your amazing run??? Since I just did 13 I am feeling great.

I am going to try the 4 miles day 6 days a week too! Starting tomorrow for me, but don't you think you need a few days to recover?
