I hate to say it but I think my body is still trying to catch up after the long run from a week and a half ago. I still managed to get in 90 minutes in today at just under 6:20 pace on the W&OD. Early on in the legs just felt stiff and useless. At one point I just decided to run up-tempo and forget about pace. This was after I did the first 3 miles in just under 21 minutes. I ended up paying for this decision on the way back when my legs started to feel even more stiff and useless than they did early on.
Fortunately I took a gel along with and I took that around 50 minutes. I also stopped at an hour to get some water and I felt somewhat better after that. I know I will be hurting the next couple days because I felt the shredded feeling in my legs when I got back to the car. I am hopefully going to attempt to get close to 70 miles this week.
