5 mile early run. 42 degrees. Easy recovery run. To Grimm's Gate and back direct. Hamstrings a bit stiff and sore.
5 mile evening run at 6:00 p.m. Light rain and starting to snow at upper end. Up Skyline via SR 36 into Elk Ridge Development and back via Loma Vista. 44:26, 8:54 pace. Last mile or so at tempo pace starting at mile 4, in 7:37. Felt decent.
Took my crappy Nike Structure Triax +13 shoes back today. 17 miles and already into the EVA foam on one of the waffles. It's like it delaminated or something. They felt fine during the race on Saturday, but afterwards I saw this lug of the waffle totally missing. I was trying to give Nike one more chance after my private boycott of nearly 20 years for various reasons. These were my 3rd consecutive pair and the mileage wasn't any better than my Asics and for the first time in 27 years I returned a pair of shoes after purchasing them. Traded them for the Asics 2150 and will stick with them. I've pretty much been in Asics all of these years, except for some Adidas last fall, so that's probaby where I'll stay for now. |

| 5 miles at 5:10 a.m. A bit faster than yesterday morning, but still a slow recovery run. My hammies are still tight from Saturday's race. Heel spur giving me a bit more problem than yesterday. About 10 degrees colder this morning. |
