I arrived back in Seattle today after a nice visit with Terry in Millbrae. Mom picked me up at the airport (thanks, Mom!), so I had time to go for an evening run without finishing too late and throwing off my sleep schedule. I ran West past Aurora Ave and back:
route. My legs felt tired, achy in a few places (including my right knee that I twinged skating yesterday) and pretty flat. I was planning to do a few short, hard hill runs, but I noticed that my legs still felt bad after half an hour of running, thought about how easy it is to overdo it and get injured or burned out, and decided to abandon the hills, along with the 20 minutes of biking and leg strength exercises. My legs started to feel noticeably better after about 50 minutes of running.
