Rest Stop

I stand corrected over earlier cynical statements around “rest” weeks in the new program.  Getting through the week without a twenty-some mile slog waiting for me Saturday morning is quite refreshing!  Even better, I hadn’t picked up that the usual eight miles on Thursday got trimmed to six…the wonder of minor miracles.

Yeah, I still have to get forty miles in, but coming down from sixty it truly is a marked reduction.  The official schedule only mandated 38 miles this week, but I’m sticking to the slight extension and have plodded 22.3 miles thus far versus 20 scheduled, so I should nudge over forty by simply nailing the remaining pair of runs.

Speaking of which, time to head out for my ten miles now!
