11 recovery with John (9:34, 8:54, 8:53, 8:52, 8;59, 8:56, 9:02, 9:09, 9:11, 8:53, 8:33) Legs felt pretty heavy on the opening few miles but that means I worked them well on Saturday. John and I ran over and did a loop around Deep Run high school and got to see a lot of the bikers and runners during various stages of the sprint tri that was going on at the YMCA. Once I go to get out of the car at home.. I notice that my left butt check isnt feeling right. In fact it hurt to get up out of the car and into the house. Like where in the world did that come from?? Could it be that im getting old??? or could it be that im straddling the excellence is built on the edge of destruction line??? or could it be a combination of both?? So I got home and rolled it out with the foam roller took a couple of Aleve and will play it by ear. Unless im seeing some major improvement over the next 24 hours then Mondays recovery run will not happen. Running smart and getting to the starting line is my motto for the year. Total for the week ending Sunday = 58.57 My friend Peter just texted me with his Erie Marathon time of 2:59:36. Awesome performance!!! Congrats my friend!!
