The 29-mile training run last weekend, combined with a brutal *ActiveX* workout called “Road Kill”, on Wednesday, left my legs destroyed all week. Even with yoga, I didn’t recover in time before my long run this Sunday. I ran anyway, grinding out 20 slow, painful and beautiful mountain miles. 
Now my knee is jacked and so is my plan of racing the Sunstrides Trail Race Series Chollas Lake 5K on Saturday and running long afterwards. I still plan to attend and support the event, but I’m not going to run until my knee is good to go so I may end up walking the course. I'll keep you posted.
I'm simply taking this as an early wake up call to smarten up and really take care of myself during the next 3 months leading up to the *VT100*.
