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.
