This goes out to Nate and Marcus... the good running buddies they are. Both of you, independent of each other, took it upon yourself to tell me that I was probably doing too much too soon. As much as I agreed at the time and agree now, it's still very difficult for me to listen. So, what was supposed to be a 5 mile run today was shortened to 3.26. I also made it a point to not run very fast. But, if you're asking, no I'm not listening completely. What can I say?? Have you read the name of my blog? I'm still going to do 5 runs this week. But, the five miler is down to 3 something and the 7 that I had planned will probably be 5.
So, this is a true, heartfelt thank you to the two of you. If you can't stop me completely from my own ignorance... maybe you can slow me down a bit.
Run recap- 3.26 miles, 30:21, 9:18 pace

I definitely agree with them that you shouldn't go too far too fast.
I'd personally rather take a light week or so by choice than be forced into a longer period of no running. Running 5x/week probably isn't a bad idea, but that 5 still seems a bit long to me. ...but I'm a wuss. :)
Yeah... They are ABSOLUTELY right. I have a hard time holding myself back though. And, I'm having a tough time with the fact that I was putting in 35 mile weeks (in 4 days) as recent as a month ago. Now, I'm struggling to get 20 in (in 5 days). In realize the flaw in that thinking, but it's still there.
See now I am worried...people don't usually listen to me. Not even halfheartedly.
