At a certain point in your life, you have to balance the risk and reward ratio on your body. It's great to work out hard, to hit numbers you've not seen in a while, but you harbor the sure knowledge that the next day won't be pleasant.
And today wasn't.
Yesterday was a great day of exercise quality, hitting a high number in both the ride and the run. The ride, at over 21 mph, was one of the best so far this year. The run was the best 10-miler I've done in a year. That they happened on the same day compounded the soreness I've felt all day long today.
I wasn't the only one. Jimmy had a rough go of it. Miller wasn't there, though that probably had nothing to do with last night's run. Rand looked remarkably fresh, even running out ahead again tonight, finishing first. And it isn't as though we were going particularly slow - we were under 40 minutes for 5, pretty good. Rand never looks better than when he doesn't have a race. Well, he looks so good I hope he finds a race soon. Hate to waste it.
After supper I headed to the gym for weights. Forty minutes of weights added to the run gave me a bit over an hour and a half of exercise, enough for today.
Tomorrow we ride! Lighthouse Books at 5 PM. Amish Loop, 31 miles, easy. Bring the dog and grandma.
