Well, I was certainly right about one thing - Sunday's challenging run has left me pretty sore - especially my calves. I had planned on going to the gym yesterday, but I had a pretty trying day at work and I had some errands to run so I took care of what I had to do and came home. It was just one of those days that sucks the life out of you - temporarily.
It was nice out today with temps in the mid 40s so I went for a 3-mile run from my house. I chose a hilly course again today, and I noticed that my legs felt a little dead from Sunday's trial. I made it through the run without any real difficulty though, and I kept up a pretty good pace. I just never really felt comfortable running today. I always felt like I was breathing heavier than I should have been and I just didn't feel like I was running under control. I have been trying to run as many hills as possible because the 10K that I'm planning to run has a lot of steep uphill and downhill sections. I want to be prepared; especially considering that I haven't run a race since last July and that was a 5-miler.
I will definitely go to the gym tomorrow and hit the weights. I will try and throw a little cardio in as well so long as I don't totally kill my legs. After all, I need to run again on Thursday.
