Legs were still sore for some reason, so no BW today. Decided to go about 12 easy. After a few miles I started feeling decent and finished the run at a moderate pace.

Moderate paced run after driving home. Legs hurt from sitting in a car for 5.5 hours. Bleh. Probably went too fast. Oh well.

Medium Workout

Guess I just didn't have a BW in me this week. Warmed up for 3.5 miles. I was going to do 3x2000m at 5:30/mi., but after the first one I crashed so I cut it short after 1000m of the second one when it started off slow and got slower. Turned the workout into a reverse pyramid, going as fast as possible on each interval. Went much better after this. Here are my splits:

2000m: 6:51 right on pace

1000m: 3:33 slow

800m: 2:35

600m: 1:51

400m: 1:09

200m: 00:29 all out

Finished with a few more easy miles. No tempo run. Just didn't have it in me. Decent workout though.

In other news, I just got called back from K-Mart and they have offered me a job, so that's where I'll be working this summer and probably for awhile. I can now afford to buy a new pair of shoes, and none too soon, as mine now have 1000 miles on them and my right foot is starting to hurt a little like it's bruised.

Inaugural run in my new Brooks Adrenaline 10's, courtesy of SGRC. I almost forgot what it's like to run in new shoes and NOT feel every pebble and stick in the road. Felt great on what I think is a bruised foot (which is what I get for waiting 1013 miles to buy new shoes). Just let my feet carry me but didn't work hard. Pace felt very relaxed and easy. Also, today I crossed the 1000 mile mark for the year.

Easy long run in the heat. My eyes hurt now from being soaked in a salt solution for two hours (also known as sweat). Got some good tanning in, though, but I'm definitely not used to the heat. Great pace.
