3 IN 18

As I started today’s easy 7 miles my legs felt terrible. What a contrast from yesterday when my legs felt great for both runs. Then it occurred to me that this was my 3rd run in the last 18 hours. My “normal” two-a-days would give me 3 runs in 24 hours. I don’t know if those extra 6 hours make that big of a difference or not, but it sure felt like it today.

Who’s the coach that suggested “living like a clock” meaning going to bed, getting up, running, etc. at the same time every day? I did a lot better job of that in the winter and I think I need to get back into that routine – at least for these last 7 weeks leading up to Grandma’s. No more of this staying up late playing XBOX, then sleeping in and skipping my morning run.
