Weekly Running Review (1/25/10 — 1/31/10)

Observations: You certainly can tell it was a recovery week.  Six days of running for only 39.3 miles.  However, I temper any disappointment with the notion that it took 5 of those days to shake out all the lactic acid from the HM and Tuesday intervals.  Despite only one “rest day,” I feel somewhat refreshed … which is a product of relaxed pace.  In actuality, the only true disappointment is that I’ve completely fallen off core work.  Semi-subconsciously, I’m likely telling myself that recovery includes easing off core … wrong, but that’s the best I can do.  Recovery week is over and so are the excuses.  Back to work.
