How did I feel? Good!Gear: Amphipod RunLite Trail Runner

A highly unusual Monday run, performed this morning as the result of having completed a satisfactory long run on Saturday which required a recovery day on Sunday... and, despite my plan saying otherwise, my inability to handle two "rests" in a row! During my run this morning, I felt as though I was really moving, but unfortunately, my time/pace revealed a slightly different story.

Things went very well. In my training, right now, I feel that it is key to avoid feeling too high when things go well (as I they did today) or too low when I don't reach my personal expectations (coincidentally something I also did today regarding oevrall pace). As you can see, depending on the weather, they are sometimes the same thing.

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
