I saw pair of black Asics 2120's yesterday while doing some Mother's day shopping and I couldn't resist. I had to buy them. It was time for new shoes and I am starting to get tired of Brooks. They felt really good during the run but new shoes always feel good on the first run. Thought it would be a good idea to head out to Farmington Bay so that I could run on the dirt road and give my legs a break from pounding the asphalt. It turns out that running in a mosquito breeding ground in the spring is not a great idea. I could not believe the amount of bugs that I had to run through. I was glad that I was wearing my glasses this morning because of the extra protection they provided. Now I know what a car windshield feels like. I must have looked like a crazy person running along the road flailing my arms while trying to shoo the bugs away. At the turnaround point, the wind picked up and it seemed to blow the bugs away from the road. Never thought that I would be happy to run into the wind. Picked up the pace the last 4 miles and finished the last 2 miles in 6:55 and 6:42. Total Time: 1:29:01 (7:25/mile) Avg HR: 147
