Recovery run.

5:15 am, 27°F, 45% humidity, wind 4 SSE.

Just another slow run, focusing on the navel to spine cue. In answer to auntieem's questions of the last couple of days, yes, I do noticed an improved hip flexor lift when when I do the navel to spine cue.

I've got a busy morning with work and getting ready to head out of town. I'm leaving this afternoon to drive to Des Moines, Iowa with my oldest son and his giant string bass. We're going on a campus visit/music department audition at Drake University. We're driving as far as York, Nebraska today. So I'll be running in Nebraska tomorrow morning. It looks like farm country. Then I'll be running in Des Moines on Friday morning, and then back in York, Nebraska on Saturday morning. We'll get home Saturday night.

I did the last mile+ in the Vibram Five Fingers today. I don't run very fast in them. Maybe that's because I keep wearing them on my recovery days.

You are really doing a good job keeping your recovery runs noticably slower than your regular runs.

Enjoy your road trip & running in new places. Hope the audition goes well.

Will you do a long run Saturday in York?

I bet 5 miles feels so easy after 16, 13, and 11. Good luck with your crazy morning and getting everything done you need to before you leave. I hope you have a good trip!

WOW exciting trip... you getting to run in new places and your son audition! I hope that all goes well for both of you. Nice recovery run today. Having slow recovery runs is something I need to work on once I'm back to running full time.

From Nan Kennard on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 12:43:32 from 174.51.250.151

Oh fun! Hope you have a safe trip and some nice one on one time with your son.

Nice recovery run! I hope you have a safe trip and things turn out well for your son. I remember those pre-college days getting stressful: wondering what and where would be best!

Enjoy the flat, flat flatness of Iowa and Nebraska!!

Enjoy the running during your travels!

Sounds like an adventurous week. Have a safe trip!

Have you tried wearing them on speedier days?
