Time for a Break

I ran 13 miles on Saturday, 6 miles on Sunday, 9.5 miles (8x Cat Hill) on Monday, and 6 miles yesterday.  This was on top of some tough workouts last week.  I felt like I struggled getting through Monday's hill workout.  I ran 5 miles through a thunderstorm on my own, and my legs felt extremely sluggish.  There was a tempo run scheduled for today's West Side Y's workout, but there was no way I could run at tempo pace today.  Instead, I ran another 5 miles with Benny and Denie.  I ended up running faster than I thought I could.

I knew I hadn't taken a day off in awhile.  But I was a little surprised at how long it's been.  Today was my 26th day of running, in a row!  I think it's about time for a day off.
