So today marked the end of my much needed recovery week. I only did about 20 miles total I believe, and cross trained more than usual for a good change of pace (no pun intended). However, I guess I really had been putting my body through hell, because if I felt the urge to run more than intended this week and starting to do an extra mile during a run, my legs were hurting. Guess I needed the recovery week more than I thought! It pays off to listen to your body.
Last night I actually had a few drinks to celebrate bday/graduation and was reminded why as a runner, I typically don't drink. Just 4 LIGHT mike's hard lemonades and I woke up dehydrated and slightly hung over. Did not make for a very enjoyable run this morning! However my legs are still feeling relatively fresh except for a little sore from spinning but that's just because I hadn't done that in a while. Looking forward to starting up some more 5k type training and doing a 5k or 10k in June to see how that works out!

You'll do great at the shorter distances! If it's 5k and under count me in! Otherwise, I'll be cheering for you at the finish! Haha!
