A.M. Usual dreadful night's sleep after a race. Recovery 12k today in 1:00:56. av pace 5:05/k, 8:10/mi. Felt in good shape and put the brakes on myself to keep the pace slow. Good weather again, warm in the sunshine and pleasant to run on soft trails. Some slight tenderness in my right achilles and a sore throat that refuses to get better. It does keep my wife amused though as I must be the world's worst at gargling, I can hear her laughing as I accidentally yet again swallow some of the salt water mixture. |
