Robbin' Tuesday to Pay Wednesday

The title is kinda weird - I know. It means that if I skip my Tues. run, i typically do it on Wed. But then my Wed. run gets pushed to Thurs. And unless I double up on one of those days, I'm running on Friday -- my rest day. When I do that, i put myself in bad shape for the weekend runs -- a tempo or PRP run on Saturday and a long run on Sunday. Well, that's what Im dealing with this week. It's Friday, and I got all my miles in, but my legs are feeling it and I could really use a rest day before running again. Nevertheless, Im going to push through -- only 6 mi on Sat and 10 on Sunday.

Ouch

I broke the 10% rule and upped my mileage last week 16% (29 to 34.8). Not a huge jump, but I felt it. In addition, before my 14 mile long run on Sunday, I did yard work all day. Granted - I did lay down for 45 min before hand. So, the last 3 miles were not fun -- dehydrated and achy. Today, I'm really tired and sore. Thinking about scheduling a massage for later in the week. Thankfully, this is a step-back week (29 miles).
