Okay. Both pairs of shoes are about equally worn, so I have no idea which is which any more. (is that two words or one?) I need some replacements; I think my hip soreness is on the shoes being high-mileage. Even if it isn't, it's a simple experiment to perform to rule them out.
So today I got up in the 5's, ran over to JP, and did five miles on the grass barefoot. It was 77 degrees outside. The weatherman predicts a cold front coming through today, with overnight lows in the 50's for the next few days. I hope that comes true.
I'm running in the local 5k tomorrow with both my boys. I've been nervous for 2 days. It's so stupid. It goes without saying I'd like to beat my PR. I don't know. I predict my performance will be right around 20 minutes. Ideally, I'll finish in the high 18's. The elevation is net-zero, with the hills in the first half, so I'm not going to get any favors there. |
