RUN FAST - Rest Easy

Great news I woke up this morning and my legs feel like CRAP!! That means my weekend run was a success I torched my legs. So a rest day is with the included bonus of NO guilt (trying to forget the pizza incident..lol).

I wanted to share with you all that I purchased a book "Run Fast" by Hal Higdon. Since Hal has basicly designed all my running programs (slight modifications by me..which Hal himself says is fine in moderation) I figured it would be a great read while I "meditate" (all guys know what I mean).

One thing It really nice to know the "science" behind why Hal suggests what he does. So far a good read...not many "Training Schedules" but the book is full of information. I will let you know parts I incorperate in my own program as I go along.
Tomorrow is a "easy 3 miles" most likely I'll do these at 5.4 pace on the dreadmill at the local gym. Lets hope the news is intersting tomorrow morning.

Just about every other day I try to convince myself to buy that book. And then I look at my bank statement and I realize that I am a college student.

That and my library does not have it either! ARG!

Enjoy the book though.
