My knee has been feeling a little stiff and slightly painful at times for the past couple of days, so I thought maybe it’s time for new shoes. And the difference is astounding! I love new shoes. Also so crazy to see how worn my others are compared to this new pair. The bottoms are like almost completely smooth from wear. The new ones feel amazing! But felt weird to put on because the insides haven’t molded to the shape of my foot yet like my old ones haha

 
Anyways, today I did Wasatch loop. My first mile was pretty slow at 8:30, because of the uphill. Then I picked it up gradually as the run went on. The 4th mile was quick at 7:01 because of the downhill. But for the other miles I stayed around 7:50 pace. Ended up averaging 7:50 lol
 
I felt like it was a good workout for me actually. I know it wasn’t quite 50% pace but my legs were really tired by the end and I worked the hills past the first mile. It felt good to get myself working and not be so fatigued as I was a bit ago. 
 
Also, ever since I stepped up my dose of Lamictal to the full dose, I’ve started having hand tremors anytime I try to hold something, even something small like my watch. Apparently it’s one of the side effects and should go away in a month or so. I really hope so. But on the upside my memory is doing so much better now. I’m not forgetting everything every 15 minutes anymore, I’ve been able to remember specific things for a few days now. I think I’m back to my normal functioning self!

If you love your shoes so much, why don't you marry them? :)

Nice job on the miles. I wish I could run that fast again.

Hahaha maybe I should!! I know they’ll always be with me ;) haha

And thanks! It’s gonna be a slow build up back to the higher mileage I’ll need as a base for Cross, but I’m glad to be progressing slowly but surely :)

And also, I think it’s really impressive that you’ve stuck with running throughout your life. A lot of people quit, but here you are! Still getting some miles in and enjoying the benefits of exercise :) and sometimes it’s the smaller achievements that are the most rewarding, especially when it’s been a long time since you’ve been able to accomplish it :) the hard work is always going to pay off! And nicely done on the longer run for you as well!
