Easy recovery miles this morning. It was around 40o outside, so I was dressed warmly. I hadn't worn my running tights since spring. I realized I might need to get used to running in them for the race if it's that cold on race day. My warm up mile was a 10:08, then mile 2 was around 9:30, then the last 3/4 mile was around 9mm. My parts all felt good, but I could tell my effort was more than it should have been. I guess they're still recovering from Saturday. Because my training miles never got really high, should I try and keep my weekly training miles about the same and just diminish my long run miles until the week of the race? I was only getting 20-25 miles pre-long run in. Should I try and keep that level until race week, or taper those down too?
