I asked M to start without me for a change today. Usually I am the one planning on more miles so I head out first for an hour or more before we start our run together. Today, M wanted to do 3 hours and I thought I still needed one more easy day to recover from back to back long runs on the weekend. So M started without me and I joined her a little later.
M had already done about 10 miles when I joined her. She ignored me when I said I only wanted to do an hour today, and led me out into the National Forest at the end of Town Hall Rd in North Conway. I really didn't feel too bad and ended up running 1:55 for about 12 miles of dirt roads and trails. My hamstrings were a little tight starting out, but felt better by the time we finished. The weather was beautiful, sunny and in the fifties. It was nice to see dandelions out!
This is recovery - sounds like a nice trail run, I can't wait to get back on the trails in New Hampshire. Btw nice report from Nipmuck..
