This morning the degree of difficulty of yesterday’s run was confirmed with some definite residual soreness/leg fatigue. That combined with freezing rain outside made for a great excuse not to run. However, part of the training is learning to run with muscles that don’t feel great and to ignore excuses not to run. With that in mind, headed to the treadmill for an 8 miler this afternoon. Was supposed to be an easy at a modest pace, but running for more than an hour on a treadmill never feels easy. After did some leg strengthening, needed for injury prevention.
