The Last Respite

This week was a rest and recovery week, dropped the mileage a bit for a final breather before hitting a set of weeks that will conclude with me eclipsing the mythical 20-mile distance.




Ritter is more than happy to help with rest and recovery weeks.

Had a decent week of running, and actually had fun running 9 miles in the rain on Wednesday morning.

But my 12-miler on Sunday was pretty rough. A combination of some body aches, a harsh temperature, and the iPod battery going out less than two miles in...one of those runs to just power through and put it in the rear view.
