I planned on taking this week easy, recovering from the marathon, and then getting in some decent miles this weekend. I had toyed with the idea of 20 Saturday, 20 Sunday. That didn't happen. I did indeed take the week easy (running only 32 miles between Tuesday and Friday), but then instead of double 20's this weekend, I only ran four yesterday and then took today completely off. I just wasn't feeling it. I'm not injured, or even particularly sore and tired. I just felt lazy and didn't really want to drag my butt off the couch to go for a run. And so I didn't. I justified the whole thing with the fact that I've ran really hard the last three weekends and, to be honest with you, I don't even feel that bad about it. A new week starts tomorrow and I'll be out there with fresh legs, pounding the pavement at 6am, starting the training for August's 100 miler in earnest.
