I'm sore?

First, sorry bout the whiny post yesterday. In my defense, I checked the horoscope at the end of the day and found:

August 26 could turn out to be quite difficult, due to Mars in ..., so we have to anticipate problems. For you, a partner or ex-partner will be much too forceful, asking you to accept certain terms or a way of dealing with an issue, but in a highly unfair way. This person won't be easily deflected. This would be no day for a negotiation..., making for a very nerve-wracking time.

So it seems it was going to be a stressful day no matter what I did. And yes, wednesday 8/26 was just as stressful as what I wrote on Thursday. Thurs did not turn out to be any better, really. However, I did knock off of work slightly early (6:20 instead of 6:30) and get a run in. It was so nice to leave the gym at 8:30 instead of leaving the house to go to the gym at 8:30! I ran 5 miles at a nice pace right around 9 minute miles. I pushed it like you should for a good tempo run, but the speed just wasn't there last night. slowed it down to long run pace and felt like I could go on forever.

Stopped after 5 miles instead of planned 6 miles so I could get out of there in time to hang with Morgan some. We enjoyed many beers and hung out watching football for quite a while.

But then today my legs are sore? I knew only one run in the last 2 weeks was going to leave me picking up the pieces a little bit. Maybe I would be slower than expected, or maybe not have quite the endurance I was looking for. but I certainly didn't expect sore leg muscles. I've lost a little flexibility in the last couple of weeks too. Got to do more yoga.

Have a great weekend, and good luck if you're doing Ironman Louisville tomorrow. There are so many people to track!
