4/6/12 (Friday) Run

Today I ran 24 miles in 3:03:32.  I ran the first 5 miles at 7.6 mph; the next 7 miles at 8.7 mph; the next 5 miles at 7.6 mph; the next mile at 8.7 mph; the next 5 miles at 7.6 mph; and the last mile at 8.1 mph, running the last .15 miles at 9.3 mph.  I felt really hammered when I got done with my run today.  Not just tired, but it was everything I could do to run this.  Just a really tough run today, much harder than last week. 

I still was not fully recovered the next day.  This is not good.  At the end of your run you want to feel tired, but like you could still run a little further if you had to, and that it last into the next day could be a sign of overtraining.  Since I am obviously not posting this on the day I ran, I found out later I was sick.  The following week I did my run on Tuesday, a hard run, and I felt so wonderful.  I just did not realize I was sick.  I thought I had a little something, but with allergy season here I just wrote it off to that.
