Junk Food Runner: The real pain of recovery

The real pain of recovery

is waiting till the soreness goes away so you can get started training again! The last 2 days I have been itching to run but every muscle in my legs is so sore, I am trying to be patient and let my body recover. I did 4 very easy miles on the bike last night to loosen things up. I plan on walking 1-2 miles tonight to work some more kinks out.

Hopefully tomorrow I can do a slow 2-3 mile run. Based on the recovery rule of thumb though, I shouldn't run hard for 11 more days. I don't know if I can wait that long. I can't wait to get some speed workouts in!

I want my sub-2:20 half!
