A quiet burn seeps though the ass, hamstrings, quads and calves. A reminder of the run the day before, the subtle pain pleasures a certain sense of accomplishment. As if the work needs to hurt, needs to be there, otherwise what was the purpose of yesterday? Take the hard days hard and the easy days easy but if after a hard day there is no residual pain was the work really done at the right intensity? Work means pain, even if that work feels like play, so there is a hardness to the accomplishment. Beating down stamina for a bit only to build stronger endurance is the culmination of that day after pain relaxing into better fitness.
