Recovery running

Last week was all about recovering. I felt very lazy doing only 2 yoga sessions and I had planned a few turbo sessions but was too tired. The rest did me some good and allowed the massive blister on my heal to repair. It now looks like a 2 inch oval shape of raw skin. But as it's been exposed to the air it's lost its senitivity. On Saturday and today I ran the same 10 mile trail route with my 6k rucksack. I was 2 minutes quicker today but that was probably because I had a running partner. However it wasn't easy as my legs were tired which was to be expected. I'll take a couple days off running now and concentrate on yoga, rest and recovery. I also need to set time aside to finalise the equipment I am taking and my nutrition. 8 weeks and 6 days to go!
