Should I run or swim today?

[CallingAllAngels]

I have a 3 mile run planned for lunch.  I was planning on swimming 30 minutes at lunch tomorrow.  I have a 10K race on Saturday morning. 

I don't feel like running today.  I'm achy all over and just feel like getting in the pool.  I always feel red-faced and sweaty after a run, which I feel like is easier to pull of on a casual Friday afternoon.  I'm telling myself that it would be okay to put off my run until tomorrow so that my legs aren't dead for my Saturday morning race.  Is this true or just an excuse?   I haven't skipped any runs this training cycle (half marathon 10/20), but I have moved some around. 

Should I buck it up and get the 3 miles in or swim today?

I'd probably swim today and give your legs a rest. I like doing an easy jog the day before a race so a 3 mile run tomorrow sounds just right.

I agree with Keweenawlove - swim today and then kick at the 10K on Saturday. Good luck!

If you are sore, swimming will help you feel better!!

Okay, how about none of the above and going out for thai food instead? Because that is what I did. I'll run tomorrow.

Thai is the next best thing!!!

I promise you an easy swim will not make or break your half training
