Today's workout didn't turn out as planned, but still OK. Was supposed to pick up Heather at 5:15 then go to gym and run 2 on treadmill before weight class. Got to her house- no light, knocked lightly on door- no response. Can't say I was surprised. She's been sick and went to Doc yesterday- good excuse to sleep in.
I really didn't feel like doing the weight class. I felt instead like an easy run. Really wanted to test my new shoes (Thanks Steve!). So I hit the tread mill for 1/2 hr- 3 miles (not inc. warm up & cool down). Started at 10:50 and ended at 9:20 pace. Average 10 min. miles. My right ankle is a little sore and my left foot felt stiff. Not bad, just a little. Still recovering from the 2 recent, close together long runs. Felt good to have an easy run & loosen up. I think I like the shoes, but hard to really tell since I'm currently sore. May want to add an insert, but we'll see. Loving the cushion, can tell that already. Went back to Asics- Gel Cumulus, more flexable and light than the Saucony Omni Grid's that I was in. Plan on these being my marathon shoes so we'll see how they are on long runs.
Plan to run long either Fri or Sat and hopefully log a couple easy miles whichever day isn't the long run. Need to get w/ my running buddies and firm up the long run for this week.
