A lesson in recovery

So feeling both the agony and the ecstasy!  Ran the 6 miles in record time Friday, did 3.5 miles on the beach Saturday then 45mins on Stairmaster Sunday with 3.8 miles (in record time) Monday. Tuesday back to Case - did my fastest mile on the treadmill at 8:44mins...then proceeded to quietly collapse during the training as we worked on my legs.  Yikes, really felt the fatigue set in. Even Case commented that was the first time he'd seen me that fatigued, so today (Wednesday) is a rest day....  My legs felt so tired I could hardly drag myself around the office.  On the upside (always an upside), I am getting to experience first hand the importance of rest days!
