"A Little Tougher, A Little Slower"

But not any less pleased.  I sucked every ounce of effort out of this aging body for the last 4 weeks, and now it's time to regroup and refresh a bit.  After tomorrow's bike ride the rest of the week will be recovery workouts only, in preparation for my next test ride come Saturday.

I got started at a reasonable time this morning motivated by the glorious sunshine.  Unfortunately this also meant that I had only 16 hours between two hard workouts. Regardless, at about 10 kms  I had that run forever kind of feeling. By about 20 kms it had dissipated a bit, and by 25 it was only a distant memory.  Nevertheless I hung on and managed my 30k in 2:42.  I am a bit sore, a bit tired, but a lot content.
