Recovery Friday

After an intense track day yesterday - today was all about recovery and just a nice simple mindless run. With my son having a 1/2 day today, I had to run in the morning - which meant dodging morning commute (cars and pedestrians) and the leftover ice on the sidewalks. I did my usual "easy day" route towards downtown, passed the hospital, then back up Propsect to Canner then home. I focused on my breathing and foot strike today. Amazing when you breathe properly you can settle into a nice comfy pace and keep it relatively consistent. End of the third and beginning off the fourth mile was the hill (as usual) and part of my next 5k course. I need to work on that hill as it will be a big difference maker in getting a good time - maybe some repeats of it next week. Long run tomorrow with Milford Road Runners - hoping for 8-10 miles.
