Just what the doctor ordered!

Well it looks like some time off was just what the doctor ordered.

I stuck to the plan and took 3 days off from training and did my best to eat, sleep and stretch. Sunday I got up feeling much better and headed out for the weekly long run.

Not sure how I was going to feel I planned on starting out on an out and back with a loop option if I was feeling ok at 30min. The 30min mark came and went and I was feeling pretty good so I decided to do the loop route which meant I was doing about 20km whether I liked it or not. Turned out not too bad.

I ran the Kingston Mills loop for the first time which ended up being just over 19km door to door. I think this loop will be a great LP run course simulation. It was a beautiful day and I think I ended up running about 5:25-5:30/km which considering how rolling it is is pretty good for me. One of my good customers who was also out for his long run caught up to me near the end, I guess he had been just behind me for most of the way. I wish I had known as some company would have been nice.

The legs feel pretty good today. My calves are a little sore but nothing a few hours on the trainer won't loosen up.

It looks from the light dusting of snow this morning that spring is still a little ways away so for all of you training somewhere warm please put in some miles for me.

Better go rent some flics and grab the bike from the store.
