got up at 4:45am, hit the streets by 5am, knocked out 3 miles. a few observations - its getting really light out, and its really starting to warm up - summer is coming.
this run was far more difficult than i thought it would be. i thought the 300 squats were the easy part of Murph on Monday, but my legs were sore. i guess it shows degree of specialization the running is developing. even though I am running miles and miles and i feel like my legs are getting stronger, a bunch of squats still makes me ache. looking back at doing Murph on my "cross-training" day, Hal says "Bike, swim, walk--whatever works best for you. Warning: Don't train too hard on cross-training days. Train only as hard as you would during a running workout". Hah, "don't train too hard," I guess I blew it on that one. I vow I will not do Murph during my marathon training again. this year, that is.
hopefully the rest of the week goes smoother. I need a hot date with a foam roller.
