Buffering Run. Went out the door yesterday knowing that I needed to adjust effort by about 3%. Got too confident and only cut back by about 1.0% - 1.5%. Ended up having to cut short tempo effort or else would have turned lactic clearance workout into VO2 max workout. Came close to doing physical damage also. Feeling it in my right adductor and right knee feels slightly "jarred". Way to close to edge of cliff than I needed to get at this point in training cycle.

Today's object: run like a mature adult. Conditions worse than yesterday, so made sure to control myself the whole way. Full mile splits 8:31 / 8:25 / 8:20 / 8:19 / 8:02 / 8:03. All easy and barely a sweat. Much better. Quality active recovery and just the right Rx. Got lazy and did not ice my foot yesterday. Its better, but still probably set myself back 24-36 hours from getting it back to 100%. There's that mature adult thing again.

Crappy weather last few days = skimpy Saturday pickings. Quarter, dime, and a penny.
