After laying off since Saturday, I finally did an easy 5 on Wednesday night. The schedule called for 7, but with a sore thigh muscle I thought it was best to cut back. I maintained a 10 min. pace, and while my leg never actually hurt, it never felt quite right. Tight might be a way to describe it. I know it couldn't stand up to speed work, and maybe not hills. I won't run today and then I'll come back with a low-mileage session Thursday. Meanwhile, I am icing and taking ibuprophen.
Also, I found out today that our original party of 3 headed to the St. Louis Marathon is now down to just me. The first guy never really trained for the marathon and at best will run the half. He might not be going at all. Previously, my running buddy broke his wrist and ruled himself out at that time. He started running today with a 3 miler, but he won't try to make it to St. Louis.
I'll take my wife and enjoy a nice weekend.
