It really doesn't make any sense to me but I really struggle with recovery days, especially on the treadmill, I have a really hard time finding a comfortable pace, I get dizzy for some reason, and really bored. I cut my run 1 mile short cause I wanted to go swim some laps in the pool, I really enjoy swimming as a recovery over slow running. 16 laps in 20 minutes. = 800 meters. Schedule calls for an easy midday run today too, we'll see.

Well, that was a really stupid mistake and I'm really mad at myself, it's a beautiful day outside and I knew I had to do a double today, but I didn't even consider packing warm running clothes last night when I was getting my stuff together. So I drove all the way to the gym and back. Pretty sad when the commute to the gym takes longer than the actual run. Oh' Well, lesson learned, pack warm running clothes always. Didn't even try to run at my "goal recovery pace, figured if I could keep my HR below 155, 75% that was recovery enough. It feels so much better to run at a pace I have trained my body to be comfortable with. | Distance | Time | Avg Pace
