Recovery Week
· Mar 30, 03:59 PM
It’s now been a week since my season finished with 50k in the Callaghan Valley. Since then the closest thing I’ve done that resembles training is riding my bike to work. And I’ve only done that once – on the day there wasn’t snow in town. It’s definitely been a week of inactivity, but one I certainly needed. I’ve been getting in some time at the office (off today though) and not doing much else.
The good news is I’m starting to feel a little bored and antsy. I almost have some spring in my step. I barely feel my legs walking up stairs anymore, and in another few days I might be ready for a little bit of activity. The only goals I have for the next month (April) are to get totally recovered and be ready to go at the beginning of May when it’s time to get ready for next year.
Right now I’m watching live splits of the 50k in Fairbanks. Not wishing that I was racing at all, but Violett’s having a good one, at least through the first 25. If he holds on he’ll be National Champ, which would be pretty cool!
