I don't know what that means. It just came out. It's the truth, though, so that's got to count for something, yes? I don't know. I guess I don't have much to write about for some reason.
This is a running blog, sweetheart. Write about running . . .
Running. Yes. OK. Running. I had a super-duper run on Sunday. Why super-duper? Well, it was a recovery run and I ran it at a slow pace that was tough to maintain. I wanted to speed up but didn't let myself. Instead, I kept it slow and that made all the difference. Over the last two miles I felt like I was gliding and then, yesterday, my legs felt terrific. All light and full of energy.
So then I wore them out with some Jillian Michaels-style shredding. Today, I'll run. Well, I'll run this evening. Right back on track.

happy Tuesday! :D
Thanks for the plug, Felice!
Recovery runs are so important. And I'm with you, sometimes it is truly hard to maintain slower pace.
Sounds like an awesome run - slow steady and easy!!!
Thanks for the links for give-a-ways!!!
Happy Tuesday to you!!
Nice! I also didn't let myself speed up on my Sunday long run, and that has to be good. Great stuff!
I laugh that I LOVELOVE those boots.
Remnants of living on the east coast perhaps?
Theyd work for about 3 minutes in the middle of the night here in TX----then my feet would sweat off.
(nice image huh? :))
sounds like an excellent run on sunday. happy tuesday, no worries about a little blogger-block - it's not quite close enough to the weekend :)
Thanks for the giveaways. Nice job keeping the run easy, really makes a difference in how you feel afterwards.
It is Tuesday! I really need to work on some nice slow recovery runs. Hope you have a great run tonight.
Have a nice run! And nice job slowing down...it can be harder than speeding up for sure. Sometimes.
I think I'm going to check out that Shred DVD.
Nice job on the recovery run!
I want to try Jillian's video.
I love runs where you feel like you're gliding!
Hi Felix! I just recently started up my own running blog (which doesn't have much on it yet but WAIT! give it time haha) and I stumbled across yours. I wasn't aware that you like to give stuff out for free, and since you do, I have tons of stuff that I could give you to give out! I work for a running website...get back at me if you're interested :-)
Nice recovery run. I find recovery runs a lot harder than tempo runs....I have no self-control!
Thanks for the giveaway links!
Yay recovery runs! They feel so good on the legs, providing you can hold the pace.
I had a short slow recovery run and it was fun to just look at all the scenery as I ran!
ooh if you like Jillian's shred you should check out Jari Love's "Ripped 1000". I've never gotten such a kick butt workout from a DVD before!! Happy Tuesday!
I love a slow recovery run! You just feel like you can keep going and going... ;)
I love those runs where you feel like you could run forever . . . toally worth holding back on the pace. :)
what a great run, yay for gliding. i've been thinking about joining in on the jillian shred thing, is it a good gym alternative? i need to look into that!
It's been so long since I made myself head out for a long run - "over the last two miles I felt like I was gliding" - YES. this makes me want to get out there. :)
way to pump it up with some Jillian in the mix too! whew, always a little rough.
Hey Felice, just found your blog. Digging it! I live near Denise. Ah it's a small (blog)world after all!
Jillian will make those legs tired!
Good work on keeping the pace slow for your recovery run. I think I may need to work on this. I always figure I'm slow already I don't need to go slower but all the plans say to be X% slower than goal pace for recovery runs and long runs.
Thanks for sharing!
My body forces me to slow down all too often - I'll call those my recoveries :)
