"No", my body said as I rolled out of bed. " You can't be serious" I said to my body. You need this recovery run today. My body said" but dear today is an official rest day why don't you get back under the covers" . "No, I can do this, I really need to"
Recovery run of 5miles completed or could I truly call a run that is barely less than my walking pace!!! A true run. Yes that is how I made it Through my run this morning. My body telling me "I told you so, do you think next time you might want to listen to me" me humble with a please forgive me attitude. "You're darn right I will listen to you the next time"

At least you got the 5 miles in and learned something from it in the process. I have had a few runs like that as well when I did not listen to my body. I hope your body gives you better news tomorrow.
You ran back-to-back 5Ks this weekend (far beyond the capability of mere mortals) so I was very happy that you took it slow this morning. Your body will thank you tomorrow. Have a great week.
I think you did fine - getting those legs moving to work through any soreness is good - and a brisk walk/super slow run can often do the trick. Better to listen to your body (especially on a recovery day) than push it into trouble.
Good job on your 5ks!
The fact that you ran at all today impresses me. Back to back 5Ks and then a recovery 5 miler and you're still alive to show for it! Now get some rest.
Thanks guys of course I felt a lot better this morning. nice 8.2 miles @easy pace 10:24. Had a open house tonight, no time to get sweaty today. Went in business attire :(
