Today I did 4 miles on the treadmill. It's mid-September and still 105 degrees outside! I felt OK but kind of lethargic. I was wondering why, and then I realized that I hadn't eaten in almost 5 hours! I also had just been to the dentist and had a fluoride treatment where you can't drink water for a while, so I was probably a little dehydrated too. I ended up cutting the run a little short. I ran a 9:05 pace. I'm glad I cut it short because I'm going to run tomorrow morning, and I want my legs to feel fresh.
I bought new shoes, my first pair of Asics, the other day. Today was my first run in the new shoes. I've been getting blisters lately, and I thought it was the shoes. But I got them today too! I just need to break down and buy enough cool-max socks to last all week. They're expensive! Not as much as the $100 running shoes, but still! I like the shoes, though. |
