AM: 9 miles easy
PM: 5 miles easy, core, stretching, pull-ups, dips
The legs were still heavy and tight today on both runs, though I felt a little better after the second run. It's pretty obvious to me that running back-to-back hard days last weekend was a pretty stupid idea, even though it wasn't intentional.
After the second run, I went the the gym for some extra work and a good stretch.
The plan now is to take the day off tomorrow, run an easy long run Saturday, easy on Sunday, and then use the 5k as a benchmark to see how my fitness has improved from last year at the same race, with the same effort. I'm also going to bite the bullet and get a massage next week...with possibly a couple more in the subsequent weeks. Using the foam roller at the gym, my quads had so many knots in them they felt like strands of pearls.
