AM - woke up at 5:30 so that I could run a little bit, did 1.5 easy miles in my aquasocks to simulate barefoot running. Legs were pretty stiff at first, but loosened up after the first 1/2 mile, and I enjoyed the rest of the run. I also got my new shoes from Steve yesterday, so I will be running in them today - looking forward to it.
Lunch - 6.1 miles outside. My legs were absolutely trashed today - no snap to them, just felt like rubber the entire time. I did get to break in my new shoes, which felt nice - I could definitely tell the difference between the new ones and the ones that have almost 600 miles on them. Just pushed through today. Average pace of 7:28/mile. For some reason, it also felt hotter today, although it really wasn't that bad. It was probably about 86 when I finished - not horrible, and certainly much cooler than the other week when it was over 100 when I ran to pick up my car. |
