The Ultra shuffle

Yesterday was a two part run; first 4 on the treadmill at a 6:40 pace and a second 8 mile effort outside.

The 4 on the treadmill were uneventful, but I could tell the legs were tired. The 8 outside, though, were tough. There was no leg lift and the body seemed to be creaking with every step. I felt like I was doing a fast walk. I finished my run, but was disappointed with the effort.

This morning I woke up and was pretty tight and sore. Even though I don't have a scheduled day off today I think this is my body telling me I need a little break. Hopefully I can get through this and get back on the horse tomorrow.
