Recovery is tough

In the last couple of weeks, I've done 2 races 2 weekends in a row.  A Half marathon with a pb, and a 15 mile XC.  In between the two I barely managed to run, and certainly was not recovered going into the XC.
Now I'm suffering the consequences.  Yesterday, I went out for a 5 mile recovery run.  Usually with my RRs, it takes me 2-3 miles to start feeling like normal again.  Yesterday, the run was difficult the whole way.  My legs were just sore, and wouldn't do what I wanted.  Added to that my shin tightness is back.  Looking forward to another sports massage in a few days to release that, along with some easy running.
Let's see how tonight's 5 miler goes.
