Recovery run today, I tryed to stay on a flat course with no hills so I stayed along canal road for the whole run. I think through experimenting I have found that my slow pace should be around a 9:30 mile, any slower than that and it is painfully slow and seems to be wairing down my legs rather than recovery. My average pace was 9:46 which is a little slower than I need to be and my average heart rate was 130 total time was 1:19:14. Tomorrow I am going to tackle Harry Davis Hill and get some serious hill work in, and then Thursday I am aiming for another tempo run and then I will be heading to San Diego for a few days with my wife. I don't know if I will even run down there I might just take it easy and let my body heal up, but then again knowing me I will probably run in spite of my own stupidity.

See Ya Tomorrow.

Get in as much running as you can in San Diego and on the road to it. One of the most common causes of injury is a break from running followed by a sudden urge to make up. The right way to recover from a break is very similar to recovering from an illness - increase gradually.

Do 15 second sprints in the middle of your easy runs to shake the legs. That will also tame your neural drive, and make the pace not seem so slow. And it will help you with speed and form as a side effect.
