Everybody on my Strava feed was doing a 2-mile shakeout run so I had to jump on the bandwagon (but also it was on my training plan). A little too fast for what was planned but felt nice to move before hopping in the car to drive to packet pickup in Clayton, GA!
Saturday
Sunday
2.7 mi recovery hike
Before driving home, went to Tallulah Gorge State Park for a little walk around to get blood flowing to the sore legs... ended up doing the stairs down to the suspension bridge and back up, so it was a bit more effort than originally planned, but it was worth it - so pretty!
12 min pre-bed yoga
Did a yoga routine on YouTube (Yoga with Adriene) to help wind down before bed. I've found my HRV (as measured by Garmin) has been in "strained" status for several days, so I wanted to try to set myself up for good restful sleep.
Week Thoughts:
Overall SO happy with how the race went and how well prepared I felt. Probably going to continue letting Google Gemini be my coach and see how that helps me prepare for the next things on the horizon... stay tuned!!
