Recovery Run. Some sprinkles in the air. Some sore spots on the legs. Flushing for recovery. Bad news is there are 10+ hours in the car over the next couple of days.

More time to reflect on yesterday. Had not ran a 5K since 7/4. Had not raced at all since 7/16. Did absolutely zero race prep training runs or sharping workouts prior to going out and expecting to run a PR. Would probably explain the mini red-lines on the inclines on Broadway. No way LT could have been in race shape. Race had the feel of the Sunday - 7 12K. Into the last half of the race and just not feeling it. Still, by-dog, the result I wanted today is the result I'm going to get, even if I pound my legs into oblivion. Which is just about what I did. Luckily, the legs took the brunt of the beating and not so much the groin and pelvis. Fitness was there, just did not properly prepared for a hard 5K effort. Eyes were on HM which is where they should have been. Plans for next few workouts are now crystal clear.
