8 miles in 58:53, 7:21/mi, HR 154.

Overcast and cool (61F); great running weather. Left calf a bit sore to start (probably from the new lightweight trainers I wore yesterday....feels like when I wore the Vibram Five Fingers, only not nearly as sore). Now that I've begun stretching out my stride regularly, its difficult to rein my pace in and so it was today. It did get a bit tougher towards the end of the run so I think I was also pushing the effort a bit too, but satisfied with the result. Starting to get excited about upcoming races....half-marathon is next Monday, another 12 days later, and marathon in 2 months come tomorrow. Yea!

Asics 2130 Blue - 36.26 miles.

Good work! And good blogging, thanks.

Isn't the cooler weather nice? What did you think of the Vibram Five Fingers? I've never even trained in lightweight flats so I'm not sure it would be advisable for me, but they are intriguing.

I'm loving the cooler weather. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't enjoy it nearly as much as I do :)

The VFFs definitely work your feet and calves, but my whimpy feet would get red and blistered anytime I ran more than about 3-4 miles in them, so I gave up running in them, at least for now. I probably should've eased my way into them by way of some lightweight trainers, which I'm doing now.
