deviation (from the schedule).

we're going to california on saturday, so for the first time i have to deviate from the training plan i've been following since june. i am supposed to run 3, 7, and 4 miles this week and 15 miles on saturday. instead i have run4 and 7 miles, and i'm taking tomorrow off in anticipation of a 15 mile run friday after work.

i did 7 miles today in 65 minutes. my legs were pretty stiff the whole time. it wasn't awful, but it wasn't as comfortable as last week. i didn't really cross train last sunday, because we had guests from out of town. apparently walking around the detroit zoo isn't considered cross training.

i'm taking tomorrow off, and then 15 miles. i'm a little worried about it, if my legs still feel this stiff. but at the same time, i'm also considering doing 16 miles, so that i can experiment with taking energy at 6 mile intervals instead of the 5 mile intervals i have been doing.
