This was my second adjustment run in my new zero-drop Altra shoes. They felt good. I can feel the need for gradual adjustment. To assist my Achilles tendons to stretch out back to their natural position I wore my Strausburg sock for a while on each leg last night. I'm going to try to listen carefully to my body during this adjustment period.

The warmer weather and more light in the mornings is very nice.

Heading off for a get away with Karen so I won't get getting my long run in Saturday morning. Decided to get in some extra miles this morning before we left since we weren't leaving until noon.

3.1 miles @ 10:00/mi Providence, UT

Karen and I are staying at the Old Rock Church Bed & Breakfast in Providence, UT (Logan) I went out for another easy adjustment run in my zero drop Altras. I wanted to finished downhill but I noticed that being on a hillside it was downhill in three directions. The only way to start uphill was to head towards the mountain, which was pretty significant uphill.

I did what I'll call a Liahona run. Since I was travelling through unfamiliar territory, I just tried to following promptings of which way to go, not really knowing what course I should follow. I don't know if I was lead to the promised land, but I made it back to the inn without getting lost.
