AM: Attempted a 4 X 100 meter at goal mile pace (70 second intervals) workout this morning. After 200 meters into the first one the top of each of my quads were feeling sore and strained. I could tell I still wasn't quite recovered from Tuesdays 200's. Further emphasizing with clarity that the repeated 28-29 second 200's was a bit too much for me at the moment. I decided to try one more to see if I would warm up. Nope, still straining. I did both of the 400's in exactly 70 seconds. But I called it quits and jogged home. PM: Got out for another easy run. After warming up a mile or so it turned into one of those effortless runs that left me completely invigorated at 9:15pm when I got home. I am thoroughly enjoying cruising around in the Altras. Definitely the best fitting shoe I can ever recall wearing. They contribute a lot to the smoothness and comfort of the run because my toes can spread out and it is the closest feeling to barefoot I have experienced while wearing a shoe. Other than the fivefingers, but the fivefingers chaff me in a few spots which is annoying. So I'm happy to have a shoe that is flat, fits the foot right, and doesn't chaff.
