This was a purposely intense week, being that I have a marathon next Saturday and I hadn’t run in the previous three weeks. I ran 26k more than what the training plan called for and I felt it: my legs have been sore enough to make stairs challenging all week.
Sunday’s run was the worst of the year, weather-wise. The wind and rain were driving into the north side of my apartment as I stalled by drinking tea and stretching. But eventually I had to leave and, as is usual with terrible weather, the hardest part became the time I spent in my apartment thinking about it. The rain was only cold for the first five minutes and the wind only helped to distract me as I posted, back-to-back, the two fastest times of the year on the 13k route. I also tested a new secret (legal) supplement that I may give partial credit to, but it needs more testing.
