Recovery week.

From what I've read, it's during recovery that your body makes it's physiological gains from all the work you've put in during the harder training.   So this week I get to make gains!  I will still be running and cross-training, but just less in quantity and intensity.  This morning I did 10 minutes of Yoga before heading out for a 4 mile run.  I went to the park again because the running path is clear, and the roads are very muddy and slushy right now.  My legs felt like lead today and I really had to force myself to run the whole time; it felt like I was seriously dragging.  Sometimes it's these runs when I feel the worst physically and have the hardest time with that I feel the most proud of myself afterwards, just knowing that I did it and didn't allow myself to be weak or give up.  When I got home, I did 45 minutes of Yoga to stretch and relax.
