On the long run Monday I pushed farther than usual, to test myself a little. Recovery from longer runs always takes time for me, even when I've been training more than now. I'm simply not one of those people who can knock out long stuff week after week, which is totally fine. I'm happy to be running and pushing my personal limits from time to time. This week a little more than usual I felt the shadow of the long run.

By Thursday I was dying to get out there more, so I did a little more, albeit on still recovering legs. It was a lackluster somewhat cooler day, but the timber rattlesnake I'd seen a couple of weeks ago on the black trail was right there with his head sticking out of his den. He tried to withdraw his head so I wouldn't see him, and I probably wouldn't have, but I know right where he lives.
4-May run 0:37 100 2 ram park

By Saturday's run I was feeling a little better, but still not ready to open it up that much. Based on the way the week unfolded, I overdid the long run by a click or two, but everything should be fine as long as I keep listening to my body in coming days.
Goals:
5/27 Pineland Farms 50 km run
7/29 Escarpment trail 30 km mountain run
9/30 Vermont 50 km run
