LSD vs. Speed

So Monday I took off from training (due, largely, to a late night out on Sunday and an anticipated long day because of class and ASG on Monday).

Tuesday morning I was *supposed* to meet my friend Barry to run (he has to pass a physical fitness test next week), but he slept through his alarm(s), and I was left to my own devices. This meant that I ran a very fast (for me) 2 miles and went home limping from shin pain. Kickboxing was tragically cancelled (bad day at work meant I was REALLY looking forward to it), so I met with Barry Tuesday evening to run. We ran/walked 2 miles and by the time we were done, I was in PAIN. Clearly, at this point, my body would rather run a longer distance at a slower pace, than to run a short distance focused on speed. (Hence the title.)

This morning I met my swimming partner at the pool and cranked out 70 lengths (next week I'll hit 1 mile!!!). I totally still smell like chlorine, but I did enjoy swimming first thing in the morning.

Tonight I have pilates, and hopefully a relatively early bedtime.

Cheers!
