I really debated whether or not to run outside this morning as the temperatures were a lot colder than they have been, but after some convincing I strapped on all my gear and headed out the door. I ran the Payson park loop via Salem Canal Road, this is a fun run because it has some real nice rolling hills in it, and then some flat portions as well. I was trying some new shoes today Asic Gel Nimbus 9, a neutral shoe, I am trying to transition into a neutral shoe to see if I can be a more efficient runner. So I am running in them 1 to 2 times a week just to see how I do and if I can handle them or not, they did seem a little different but we shall see..
I did a recovery run this morning as I have ran pretty hard the last few days, at least for me, so my average pace was 8:55 with my heart rate average at 146 which seem a little high still, which is kind of weird, total time was 1:03:11. I could still be fighting off the cold from the last couple of weeks, or maybe not, my battery could be getting low as well, better check that when I can... I was going to say that the cold wasn't bad at all, I think it was a little warmer than they thought it would be which is just fine with me!!!
See ya tomorrow...
