AM: Early morning PT apt. Stretching and lower back/SI adjustments, then strength, then graston. Ouch.. Legs are already tired! But no soreness from long run yesterday, so that is good. Had planned on an easy 8 afterwards, but as I was walking back to the office to drop my bag off I noticed that there was some wonkiness to my left shoe.. I thought maybe I had stepped in gum or something. When I inspected the shoe I saw that the shoe was completely separating from the sole at the heel through the mid-foot section! What?! Ugh- these are the Asics Cumulus shoes that probably only have ~250 miles on them and are the 'ideal' shoes for my foot strike/gait. So, I am trying to super glue it back together right now- probably will not work, but feel like I have to try. Run will be put off until this evening since I didn't bring a another pair of running shoes down today. Sigh. 

PM: 5 on trails with L and B pups, then 3 more on roads alone. Total: 8.17 mi in 12:06 avg pace. Avg heart rate: 144; Max heart rate: 168. Avg elevation: 8,500'; 1,160' gain/loss. Lots of stop and go on trails with pups today. Met a few bikers and a couple people walking their dogs. Kept B pup on leash the entire time, and L pup when on and off a few times. He did not listen very well when we met people hiking with their dog- totally left my side to go say hello even though I was telling him to stay and/or sit. Ugh. I've got some nincompoops for dogs. Good thing I love them. In other news, my new Brooks Cascadia shoes were super comfortable.
