I am still having trouble recovering...
I did a relatively light circuit (cut my weights down by 10 pounds or so in each exercise) on Wednesday morning then went for an easy five miles that afternoon. The workout and the run both felt good and went well, but I didn't get off work til 10:30 that night, and got to bed after midnight. When I got up at 3:40am my legs cramped so bad I thought I was going to miss my ferry - I had to almost crawl down the stairs and spent 10 minutes massaging my quads to get the cramps to ease up enough that I could get ready for work. I'm sure the lack of quality sleep is the biggect culprit but I can't help but cut back on my training. I was planning to do a 50K on Labor day weekend (Roots Rocks 50K in Port Gamble) but that is iffy at best now. After Wednesday's run I went for a 2.5 mile run/walk on a trail with my 9 year old son (he is a great training partner!!) on Thursday and a 9 miler with him on Saturday , legs still tired and heavy today. I'm thinking I will skip the 50K and put my energy into getting ready for the Poulsbo marathon (Oct 16) and Doppler 50K (Nov 20). Instead of the 50K on Sept 4 I think I will head up to the Buckhorn wilderness and do a 17 mile trail run - I love adventure runs on trails I have never been on before!
