Recovery Run (6.45mi)

The dog and I went on a trail run.

Weight: 135 lbs
Time: 54 min

Today was the second day of taper before this Sunday's race.  Overall, I'm reducing my training, so I skipped lower body cross training.  After yesterday's tempo run I needed to take an easy pace, and my feet agreed.  That, and the reduced mileage requirements convinced me to take the dog for the whole distance.  She did very well, keeping up with me for an average 8:27/mi pace.  I might still get her some paw protection, but she seems to be figuring out how to run comfortably on the trails.
