AM - 9 miles. Started easy for 5.5 around the neighborhoods and then threw in a little 2 mile pickup in 10:30 (5:16, 5:14) on the tempo loop. Right as I was finishing up the effort, my eyes were blinded by the brightest pink jacket in the world (Andrea!) and I ran home with her. I was just looking for a little token effort to shake out the legs... this fit the bill. No point in doing anything more strenuous today.

PM - 3 miles w/ Andrea. 

Despite the fact that the layout of Gary Cohen's website hurts my head, he has a good interview with Adam Goucher, one of my favorite athletes.

Nice pick up today Jake. BRIGHT clothing is a necessity this time of year with snow covered shoulders and terrible drivers. I think my fluorescent yellow jacket has saved my life more than once.

I so loved watching Adam Goucher run cross-country - what an animal!! He always seemed, to me, to epitomize the distance version of once a runner -- unfortunately, similar to Ritz, highly injury prone.

Hey Jake, just curious if you have any experience with (or opinion on) the Virrata yet?

I haven't worn them yet Justin. Runblogger put up a very thorough review the other day. Its seems like they are pretty similar to the Kinvara 3, but a little bit lighter (10%), and supposedly they have a little extra room in the forefoot (which sounds great). My hesitation in trying them right now is that w/ my achilles, I need to wear shoes that have a little more heel lift until I get it back to normal.

A lot of people seem pretty excited about them. I get the sense that anyone who likes the Kinvara will probably end up liking these as well.
