Short Recovery Run

It was a nice day out on Tuesday, so I after finishing up my strength training I headed outside to do my recovery run. Right outside the gym the roads have sidewalks which is really nice. I headed out for a 3 mile run that took about 27 minutes. It took about 2 miles before the run even became comfortable. I guess that is why they call it a recovery run.
