A great recovery...

Some days you can tell you need additional sleep. Other days you realize that additional sleep may do more harm than good. This morning at 5:30, I had the realization that today was the later. Forcing myself to get out of bed wasn't easy - the "I just ran a marathon" excuse always works well. But I got up and out the door by 6:00 am.

Today was beautiful. 40 degree temps at sunrise in February in Kansas is not common. Absolutely beautiful.

And a beautiful run, if I do say so myself. I wasn't exceptioanlly fast, maybe 34 minutes for the entire 4 miles, but not bad for a "recovery run."

Everything felt great. Runs like today are runs I really enjoy.
