Memories...

I read that muscles have "memory", they remember what you've put them thru and I guess that's the whole reason we steadly increase the mileage up to 26 miles.

My muscles, however, have short term memory loss.

And here is why. I finished all 6 miles on Saturday, walked half and did intervals the other half (thanks Christa, I couldn't have done it without you). So I thought Monday would be a piece of cake.

WRONG. The first 10 minutes were very hard, I was ready to quit. I kept on telling myself it would get easier, about 20 minutes into it, the pain began to fade. Whatever happened to them remembering?

I was about to quit at 30 min when I ran into my next door neighbor. Since I had company, I ended up doing 45 minutes of intervals (1:2) and then 15 minutes of walking! woohoo! amazing what you'll do if you have someone to keep you company.

I didn't ice my knees and they are a bit sore today. Nothing major, not like last time. Will make sure to ice tonight so I'll be ready for Saturday.
