Well today's run was PAINFUL: joints were aching and blisters are still playing up a bit - or rather one of them was. Both my hips were giving me gyp and my right leg was pretty stiff all the way up. Not sure the whole 'recovery run' principle is working for me! Maybe I should do some cross training to recover from long runs instead (or perhaps this was just a bad week).
Possibly wasn't helped by the fact I decided to try some bursts of speed - definitely think sessions should be reserved for my runs in the early part of the week not for post-long-run days. Lesson learned!
I haven't quite got up to the 20 miles in a week mark (short by 3/4 of a mile) but should break that milestone next week ... so I suspect the fact my mileage is increasing quite steadily is making my poor bones ache a bit more because of that. Who knows what next week will bring.
