Surprising Run

Monday night. Nothing too exciting. Scheduled for a 5 mile recovery run. Legs were still a little stiff (I guess from the 14.4 miler). I started a little earlier than normal since we had a church thing this evening. Felt really sluggish and never really seemed to hit a good stride. I was really starting to get down on myself during the what I thought was a 5 mile SLOG. However, after I finished, I checked my overall time and was shocked to see I had run my "recovery" run at slightly less than 8:30 pace. This is normally faster than the FAT MAN runs his recovery runs. Maybe there is something to getting in shape, losing weight, and increased training!
