Recovery Run

I did well on my recovery run today. My legs felt tired initially, but I warmed up rather quickly and actually ran the first mile faster then I intended. After that I was able to slow down and did a good job keeping to a recovery pace for the rest of the run. I did start to feel a little tired at the end of my run, which caused me a little worry about tomorrow's 20 miler. However, after looking back at my last couple of runs, I'm confident tomorrow will be fine. Even though my legs were tired, I ran the 12 miler and todays's five mile recovery run at the proper pace. Tomorrow will be long but manageable. Do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself?
