So you know my 60 mile training week last week. Today, I finally got a 4 mile run in. I mean, seriously? Today is the first day in 5 I haven’t limped down my stairs and now I have a wicked sun burn on my left leg. But boy did I feel it while running. Felt like I had sand bags attached to my ankles or I was pulling a car.

I’ve got to find something that helps me recover after long runs. I’m so at a loss with this territory. Stretching and baths aren’t really helping. I ice my problem areas, but that’s hard to do when it’s your whole lower body. I honestly feel great during runs, but can’t walk for 5 days after. Which leads me to missing at least 1 run and ride.

Hopefully my legs won’t fail me during my 20 miles this weekend.
