It's funny to think how quickly I have been able to get to the mindset that 8 miles is an easy week.
I remember the first few runs of 3 and 4 miles where I was so stressed and wanted to go to bed early and was really worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the group.
This week was a Recovery Week, so we dropped back to 8 miles. I spent the week so relaxed and looking forward to the run. The change in perception and experience in just a few shorts weeks is awesome.
The run was easy and recovery went well.
During the run, I got to thinking abouth the idea of a recovery week, or a moment to take stock and consolidate what you have achieved.
Michelle and I have been so bust over the last few months with courses and her treatment and work and training and socialising and everything that we love to do. We both love being busy and squeesing the most out of our time. And I love it.
I also enjoy those times when I can just chill and relax and 'recover'
I'm going to build some more of that time in to our weeks. i want to plan recovery before we need it. It just makes sense.
