OUCH!

I just finished my 33KM run today and I'm actually feeling more sore now than I did after doing my 50 KM trail race. There are two reasons for this. They are speed and terrain.

Running on trails, at least for me, demands that I slow down and the terrain is much easier on your feet. Today we ran quite a bit faster than I've done recently, and also my feet took more of a pounding on the pavement.

It was also the longest run I've done since my 50K so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Today reinforced even more for me that I'm not in the right frame of mind to do a fast marathon.

Tomorrow I'll do some light weights and start running again on Tuesday.
