I just didn't have it.  I was going to run 7 or 8 but it just wasn't there.  Legs were heave, ankle was aching (not Monday's twisted ankle), and I couldn't even run a 10 minute mile.  So at two miles I turned around to cut my run short and save some energy for tomorrow.  The last mile I actually started to feel good and could have run farther, but I was already home.  Oh well.

Wise to listen to your body! Some days are just that way. I bet if you eat some chocolate you will feel much better.

You were smart to not push thru and save it for another day.

Any luck finding less expensive replacement shoes?

Kelli - Good dark chocolate cures everything.

Smooth - I haven't bought any shoes yet but I'll need a pair to run in at Utah Valley. I don't think my feet will be ready to run a marathon in my Altras. I looked at Running Warehouse like you suggested and I like what they have. I may go that way.

Some days are just like that and I think it is better to just let the body have what it wants. As much as we hate it, the body does know best.

I think they need, in addition too the slow/fast miles, "craptastic/shoot-me-now" box. WE all have those miles once in awhile! Onward and upward!

I hate those miles.
