Recovery

Ran 12.4 miles @ 8:36/mile pace.
Paved and dirt roads.
Very hilly.
Weather: upper teens to start, lower 20s to finish. Sunny.

Very pleasant run today. The wind was practically non-existent, which was a nice change from yesterday. While temps were cold out, I was properly dressed and felt very comfortable.

Goal today was recovery. I didn't have to remind myself to put on the brakes, as the slow pace came naturally, given the last two days. Having said that, it also felt very easy. I even debated going further at the end of the run, but decided to stick with the original plan of a little over 12 miles. Even on the hills, I felt great and I just enjoyed the run, never feeling tired or beat up. Good signs.

Recapping the week:
Mon - 0
Tue - 7.5
Wed - 6.3
Thu - 0
Fri - 14.3
Sat - 20.1
Sun - 12.4

Total = 60.6 miles

Notes on the week: Crappy start, strong finish.

On an unrelated note: GO PATRIOTS!
