Slept in and did not run this morning. Felt like my body was saying, "Come on for gosh sakes, give me another day of rest here!" So, I plan on putting about 4 1/4 miles in tomorrow morning. My calves were still really tight last night, from all the hills, but I feel pretty good today. I may cycle on and off with the long runs, i.e., run 7 this Sunday, run 8 the next, 7 the next and then 9 the next; see how that goes. Just going up a mile on the long run each week just may be pushing a little too hard; and the benefit doesn't outweigh the cost. And yes, Rpalmst, when I go for a distance I haven't run yet, I will eliminate the inclines. :)
Wifey gets back home tomorrow evening. Will get back into my normal routine of home cooked balanced meals. In the meantime, anything I eat doesn't count, because I'm a poor defenseless bachelor right now. :) Actually, I've been holding my own pretty well. If anything, I tend to eat less at night because I just feel like the effort to fix something isn't worth the benefit. So, with that said, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
