AM-10 miles easy.  Most at 6:10-6:40ish pace. Indoor track with some speed changes.  Getting the body gradually ready for the introduction of speed work soon.  

PM-5 miles easy-medium effort on the JRT and 5300 s.  6:30-6:40/mile.  7/min going up 5300 s hill.  Last 2 miles at 5:40 and 5:42 on a decline.  Keeping a good aerobic stimulus without going hard on the second workout.   Easy jogging tomorrow morning and then hopefully a longer run in the evening if the legs and glycogen levels are up to it. 

Oh man.. my T-5 racers are now worn to the inside foam! I might as well be wearing Five Fingers! Lol !!   I lost track of the mileage on them but it's got to be well over a 1000 miles I think.  What is with this Five Fingers craze anyway?  True that primitives were not born or ran with shoes on, but then again they did not run mile after mile on hard pavement did they? Sounds like a good way for people not structurally built up yet to get injured. If someone has a pair please enlighten me to the advantage they would have versus a pair of flexible racing flats? My mind is open.. I know I'll probably get stoned by some for this comment!  But it's just my two cents so don't take it personally if you have some.

Hey Steve, I picked up a pair of Five Fingers last spring after reading Born to Run. But I've never used them as a running shoe. That seemed intuitively stupid to me. Instead, I think of them as a training aid. I believe that modern running shoes can weaken the feet and the achilles. So, I wear the Five Fingers around the house alot. I also do fast striders in them on grass - stuff like that.I've also gone exclusively to lightweight trainers and racers in my training. No more Kayanos.

Ok, That seems sane enough, no argument here with that kind of usage. Do any of the elites use them?
