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!!

I sounds like you are worn out. Get some good rest and start fresh on Monday.
