6.51 mile run am, 4.54 mile run pm. both runs in norwalk. whipped out my new brooks beast for the first time. they weigh 2lbs each but feel so cushiony i love them. unlike the newly designed '09 montrails which i'm leaving after i wear them out i don't have to wear them for 400 miles before breaking them in so i don't get blisters. almost didn't run at all today because of the pain from the fall but it was surprisingly not that bad. still waiting for the black and blue. besides it being really swollen and i think things are fine back there.

ran 5 miles at lunch ~40 mins. I'm not doing well taking the allotted 1hr lunch. i went 10 mins over again. i probably need to not spend the 5 extra minutes going to subway and eating it in my car (another 5 mins). I kind of enjoy that though. i would save 5 mins alone if i had my running stuff on under my work clothes which i'll try. i'm not sure the 4 min drive works very well either to not have to run past the dump and the water treatment plant. it adds up to 8 mins total. i really like the running options which is surprising. 

after work went to huntington for a trail run. it was pretty cold, will need gloves soon, hands were getting numb.

5.5 miles during lunch, won't run by the water treatment place again. smelled so bad today and there were a ton of trucks and other unpleasant things....will have to sacrifice 6 mins to start from a better location. will cut run length down to 5 miles tops or bring food with me that I can eat quickly.

 ran 1.6 miles with brother after work then 2.25 with kristin for 3.85 after work
