"From Hell to Heaven"

If last weeks 24 kms was the run from hell than this weeks was the run in heaven! I didn't know it though until at about 6 kms I seen an angel coming the other way. She stopped and kissed me on the lips. Thanks Roo!

Unfortunately it is not any easier running in heaven than it is in hell. Despite having 4 days completely off I was actually slower this week than last. Much to my amazement I had still not recovered from the horrors of last saturday. My legs ached with every step...front, back, top and bottom, as well as my knee and hip joints. While the mental toughness was all very admirable, from a purely physiological perspective I made a big mistake last week. I should have stopped running. Hopefully I can rmember the lesson and not repeat it. I believe that I actually went backwards and in order to recover completely I will have to continue to go easy for 2 or 3 more days at least. Swim tomorrow, and maybe an easy bike ride. I can't even do weights right now.

And a very big welcome to Elly!! If you did not know about "Game On" it is not because I didn't tell you about it some 4 months ago. Regardless it is very nice to hear from you.
