Steady-state... come on steady legs

Tonight I ran a steady-state run as a stamina workout prescribed by McMillan's six step training program. I've been developing a pretty good base (at least I think it is good) so I decided to throw in a different type of workout.

The run went very well. McMillan suggests in the beginning you only do the steady-state portion for 25 minutes to get used to running this way; however, thinking I was tougher than I am, I ran for 40 minutes. It was a great idea at the time but now my legs are feeling quite fatigued.

The good news is that now I get to enjoy a nice recovery run tomorrow without feeling like a slacker!
