Today was a bad day... was supposed to get in my long run but just could not push. I typically run with a lot of cloths on because of the temp (cold natured). So I think I am going to have to look at finding a way to rehydrate on the course.
I did however go to the running store today and purchased a pair of new shoes. I did the complete analysis (i.e. recorded my stride on a treadmill), tried and recorded at least 5 different pair until we found some asics that felt awesome and looked great as well on video. I am excited to start running in them although tomorrow is Sunday so I get a chance to rest.
A little dissapointed that I did not get to cross the 50 mile / week point this week. That would have been a great milestone but hey... I feel good about checking that box next week.
Lastly I am starting to look at running watches.. my current interest are the NIKE+IPOD and the Garmin 305. I love technology and both of these are filled with it! Gotta do some research and gather more info... may can finagle it for my upcoming birthday!
Until next week!! |
