Recovering from a bad run

As I mentioned recently, I had a pretty bad run this past Sunday.  I was scheduled to run 5 miles, but I barely made 3 miles.

Since I wanted to keep my weekly mileage on track for the week, I ran an extra mile on both Tuesday and Wednesday and I finished the week at 13 miles.  Right on schedule.

I made some adjustments.  I have stopped using the elliptical trainer so my legs are a lot fresher.  I’ve also started to eat a little more….not a lot, a little, but since I’m not using the elliptical trainer, my calorie deficit isn’t as large as it has been.

I’m feeling pretty good now, but the real test would be to see how I fare on my next 5 mile run on Sunday.
