Missed the sign and kept on a-goin'

We ran last night at the park at the end of Bayshore. We were told that the Half Marathoners would run to the guard shack at the Monte Carlo Condos. The Full Marathoners were to go further and turn and come back. I heard something about Bay to Bay as being information for the Full Marathoners.

I looked carefully across the wide boulevard to find Monte Carlo and never saw it before I got to Bay to Bay. Another Half Marathoner just ahead of me had already turned and was heading back. I quit at Bay to Bay and went back myself. It was getting pretty dark by the time I got back to the park where we started. As coach Steve accompanied me back in, he said he thought that was about 4.8 miles. I googled it and it seems more like 5.2. At any rate that was about 5 miles instead of the 4 I had planned to do.

I am paying the price again tonight and with a long day of driving and desk work for reports. the muscles are shouting "We can't support this weight for a run tonight!" The left leg is weak and not very steady. Since we will be doing 6 miles on Saturday, I think this will be another rest night. It won't be as productive a week mileage-wise but since an injury could cause much more non-productivity, I think this will still be worth the reduction.

Will stretch and zap the muscles with the tens unit and then go to bed for more recovery sleep.

Good night..
