Recovery Garbage 4

Seems like the route I made up today was on the same route as the garbage trucks. Nothing like the smell of garbage at 6am when you are trying to run. I tried to keep today's run easy and decided to run based on HR - which meat trying to keep it around 145 or so. I made up a new route today just to try something different. The course had a nice hill in it - and I decided to finish the run with a slight kick.

I find the last few weeks before marathon training begins(or any training for your "A" race) to be difficult. Part of me wants to just go go go and hit the ground running (so to speak) and the other part of me wants to rest and get 100% healthy (and sleep in a couple times) before the madness begins.
