I am on a business trip to Huntsville, AL and since the forecast today is for 100 degrees and humid I got out real early and only had to deal with a temp of around 76.  I thought my legs might be a little beat up after the long run yesterday but they felt pretty decent.  I started off easy and after a few miles actually felt pretty good.  Since I was feeling good I picked up the last couple of miles to around marathon pace.  Turned out to be a good run.

I've been noticing lately I've been feeling better after my longer runs than other/shorter runs. Is that crazy or what? Doesn't seem to make much sense. Wonder if anyone has a good explanation.

I don't understand it either. Monday I was in total melt down on the long run and today felt great. I remember one time reading about doing back to back hard days because the body is worse two days after a hard run instead of the day after. However, this is beyond my running knowledge.

Nice runs the last couple of days, way to get out on travel as well.

Keep it up! Be safe on your travels.
