Another difficult running day out there on the slick snowy roads. It was hard getting my footing again so I just took it easy and when I would get to a good stretch of road I would speed up... My legs were pretty dead by the time I finished and I think I need to retire the Kayano 12 Blue shoes that I have been running in, it seems like that every time I run in them my legs just feel hammered, so they are history! My average pace was 9:28 total time was 57:06, I didn't run my usual 7 miles this morning simply for the reason that I got tired of fighting the brown sludge on the roads and so I cut it short.

I consider these junk miles because they did-not feel good at all, but I am glad I completed the run I always consider that an accomplishment this time of year...

No miles are junk miles...every mile you run is helping you build that base. I am amazed that you northerners have the will power to get out in such yucky conditions, it shows great determiniation. Good job!

Good job on the effort today. Your building a very valuable base. Keep her going little Bro.

Clay good job again getting out on yet another nasty morning.

About the new shoes....I think running in them a couple times a week to start out is a good plan. I switched from a stability shoe to a neutral about a year ago and did this and had no problems.
