Today was an interval day with a buddy of mine. He talked me into it, otherwise I would have just done another slow day. We started off with a mile warm-up, and then did 6x400m with a 400m recovery lap. Things felt really good and I was able to maintain a 1:15-1:20 pace the whole time. I am very pleased with that time due to the fact I haven't done any kind of interval/speed training in...well over a year I think. Maybe I will incorporate this into my weekly schedule.

Today was a nice run, really relaxed and slow. Looking at my HRM my average HR was 145 BPM. My legs are still feeling it a little bit, this time in both. I switched shoes thinking that it might be because of the reebok shoes. I think I am trashing those for running. I am back to the Fastwitch for now. I have some Nike free runs coming in the mail.
