    Did a short run today, 3.5k.  My legs were getting a little tired, but I didn't feel like I got much of a cardio workout. I was tempted to run further, but decided to stick with the Hal Higdon training plan and only do the 3.5k run. Afterwards, I walked another 3.5k and then biked 10k.  In the end, I felt like I got a lot of exercise, but never got the cardio workout I was wanting. I hope trusting Hal on this one pays off in the long run!

    Yes, trust the plan. Resting is the hardest part of training, but your body needs it to fully recover and not become injured. Patience...

    I'm glad you felt okay on the run and the legs didn't feel too tired. That is a good place to be. Nice work!

    I'm glad you stuck with the plan and took it easy. Easy days are at least as important as hard days.

    Ditto exactly what RAD & CIC said.

    Patience grasshopper...patience. Trust the Hal.
