Recovery Day Feelings

It’s Sunday? Man does it not feel like Sunday but also 100% like Sunday. Anyone else in the same boat today? I got up around 5:30 and felt “okay”. Not fully rested, not fully exhausted, somewhere in the middle of the two that I couldn’t really pinpoint. Accumulation of miles, training, and running left me with a cloudy vision of how I was feeling. Originally I had 10 miles easy on deck, but texted my coach to check in and he said to go 7-8 easy and just by feel. I left my house, and at 2.5 miles in I ALMOST turned around. I wasn’t suffering at all, I just couldn’t decide if I wanted to be running (???) but kept going knowing I’d feel better especially mentally if I did the 8. I did my favorite 8 mile route to make it that much better. Avgerage pace was 8:40 which is slow for me, given it was 60 degrees and overcast too. I came home, showered, made a MASSIVE bowl of protein oats and then worked at marathon sports the rest of the day! Again, I seriously don’t know how the days go by so fast working there so far. It wasn’t too busy, but I worked with all the college and high school boys today, and the manager Matt. Super chill vibes all around, and I don’t feel like I have to try and fit in in the environment. I can just do me and it works, I’ve never worked somewhere where I’ve felt that way!

I’m a little tired and out of it tonight , but know this is the LAST big week of training! So close to the taper, and I know my body will appreciate that. Anyone have any fun Memorial Day plans? I think my grandparents are having a family cook out tomorrow (I think???) so I’ll go over there tomorrow afternoon.

I also got the BPN KANE footwear collab and WOW are these some pretty cool shoes!

My plans for tonight are to sauna for 30:00, take a NICE long shower, and read more of the second book in “the court of thorns and roses” series….the second one is SO GOOD so far!
