Tough one.

My legs were definitely feeling it today. Two long weeks in a row plus an all out race yesterday made today's long run feel pretty tough. The first few miles we went pretty easy, I was with two guys who both raced the Turkey Trot too. One guy finished a few seconds behind me and the other guy was the winner, but they are still pups and maybe had a little too much fun at the post race party so they weren't feeling too hot. But after about 1.5 miles another guy from the race caught up with us and he was feeling fine so he dropped the pace on us down to about 6:50 for the next 8.5. The final 7 I was on my own and I was tired, so I just went nice and easy and finished 17 in 2 hours flat. I'm planning on a little extra rest tomorrow so I'll be skipping the super early run and switching to the afternoon. More time between now and the next run plus a little extra sleep. One more high mileage week then I'll cut back so I can absorb and recover.
Total for the week: 69
for the year: 2463
