As of today I'm at 107.51 miles for the month. I broke the arbitrary 100 mile barrier over the weekend with days to spare.
Today, I ran 4.24 miles at 9:01 pace and it was a bit of a struggle. My legs didn't even want to go 9 minute pace and were just plain fatigued.
I had some fairly decent efforts on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (5.18 miles on both Saturday and Sunday at 8:41 pace following my speed workout on Friday)
Time will tell if today's effort was the start to some recovery or if ultimately I just need a day off. Main thing is that I'm finally starting to really feel fit and good about my running so don't want to overdo anything and set myself back.
Right now I'm exhausted. Always a fine line between pushing to exhaustion and allowing space for recovery.
