Sore

My 18 miler Sunday left me sore with tight calves and legs in general.  I took Monday off but went for a 5 miler yesterday at lunch around Millbend loop from my office.  My legs seemed to loosen up after a couple of miles into it which was a good thing.  After cleaning up, I headed over to Lukes Locker to pickup my race packet for Thursday morning's 5 miler.  It's gonna be racing weather tomorrow morning with lows expected near 40.   I'm just not sure if my legs are up for an all out race.  I need to try and listen to my body; put a bib number and/or a chip on me and it always seems to end up in an all out effort.  Given the timing of the event in relation to my upcoming Goofy Challenge that may not be the smartest plan.  An injury now would really set my training back.
After the run tomorrow and the post race pancake breakfast, it'll be another race to get home, get the dogs packed, and hit the roads to spend the holiday weekend with my mom.  At least Thursday morning traffic will be a breeze compared to the nightmare traffic that will hit I-10 today into tonight.
I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday.
