Spent 1 hour doing corework and weights in the gym. Followed by 5 miles on TM- recovery run. Wanted to keep the mileage down due to a solid week + increased workload this month.

Thus far the 70-mile weeks have been fine. I want to put in one more 60-70 week before increasing a tad. Energy level was high today after a tough 20-miler yesterday. Also, both feet feel fine. I want to be careful with the increased mileage, so far so good.

New shoes finally feel broken in. I was close to returning them, but pleasantly surprised by how they've molded.

Weight: 179 lbs (last 24-hour nutrition has been good)

If a pair of shoes don't feel good when you first put them on then there not a good pair to buy. Be very careful to buy the right shoe for your arc.

Also about running in the cold weather, it's more difficult on your muscles because it takes more energy and effort to get them warmed up. It's easy to see why anyone doesn't perform better in the cold weather. Injuries tend to happen more in the winter, because we don't properly stretch or warm-up.

Have a great sermon tomorrow.
