Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

Worked shoulders and chest for 25-30 minutes.

9 miles easy @8:22 overall AP.  I am so glad I have friends that are keeping tabs on me and encouraged me to skip my hard workout and take it easy today.  If it were up to me I would have still done the hard workout because I am stubborn and sometimes think I am invincible but my body was screaming for an easy day.  This run was much needed mentally as much as physically.  The inside of my right foot is still bothering me a bit.  It almost just feels bruised or swollen but there is no physical evident of either.  After a few miles it seemed to ease.

I definitely think my body was more fatigued from the race than I gave it credit for.  When I think I have a bad race I push too hard afterwards which is just plain stupid and isn't fixing anything.  Learning....I am learning, slowly but surely. :)

+1000 discipline points for NOT doing a workout today! :-) Too many times in the past I would do exactly that - try to push when I knew it wasn't the best idea, and then regretted it later.

You won't miss anything by taking a few extra easier days. If you're feeling better and ready to run faster by Thursday, you could always do the fartlek that day, and then do some MP tempo at the end of your long run over the weekend. Kill 2 birds w/ one stone, and keep yourself in one piece!
