~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After my "LT" run on Saturday that left me a little drained, I wasn't really up for my normal speedwork session on Sunday. So, I just subbed in an LSD or recovery run instead. Atypically, I also ran on an almost completely flat course, but I was pushing my 50lb son in a jogging stroller the whole time to offset.

My goal was to run a very comfortable pace and just see how the pace/time worked out. Obviously, the stroller slowed me down some but I'm fine with that considering how low my HR stayed. I also felt great afterwards and did some strenuous yard work later in the day with no ill effects. This was a textbook (for me) recovery run.
