Just the usual.  Nothing fun, new or exciting.

WINDY.  The wind was really blowing.  Of course, I didn't mind it when I was running with it but it took a lot of work running into it.  I think that I commented last week that I needed new shoes.  Still have not bought a new pair and I am definitely feeling it now.  I think that I squeezed the last mile out of this pair.

Got my new shoes last night and wanted to break them in with a tempo run.  Brooks updgraded to the Adrenaline 9 which usually means the exact same shoe with a higher price tag.  They were more expensive but I'm not sure if it was because of the new model or if Striders is just more expensive than DeBoers.

Warmed up with 3 easy miles then started a 4 mile tempo run.  Felt really good through out the entire tempo run.  Splits were 6:27, 6:32, 6:40, 6:30.  The slow mile was the overpass and ugly stretch that always slows me down.  It is encouraging how good I felt during the run.  I was really questioning if I could break 20 minutes in a 5k right now (6:27/mile) since I have not done any hard running for a few months.

Cool and a steady rain.  I played basketball with a couple of guys at work yesterday and my legs are sore because I used my leg muscles in ways that I'm not used to.  It is probably something I should do more often. Because of the leg soreness, I kept the pace pretty easy.  I never felt like I could get my looks to move the right way.

My intent was to run 15 miles but my girls had a soccer game at 9 and I didn't get out the door soon enough.  Since I didn't meet the club this morning and it was a torrential downpour I kept the pace really slow because I just didn't have the motivation to run fast.  I averaged 139 bpm for the entire run so I probably kept the pace slower than I should have.  Other than the rain, the run felt very nice this morning.  I almost forgot.  At the request of Teena and Smooth I opted to run shirtless this morning.  It was quite a sight.
