80F. 8:06 AP. Meh. I put on the go-faster shoes thinking I might do a tempo but was not feeling it at all. It was dark, early, hot, whatever, and I could just never get going, so I just let the legs do whatever they wanted. I'll take it easy tomorrow and go fast on Friday whether I feel like it or not.

I have some "go-fast" shoes (Brooks Racers). I really like them but have only worn them a couple of times...and the're orange...!

Kinvara's are fast shoes, that's for sure, but I certainly have not run fast every time I have worn them. Gotta let the body have it's way sometimes. Remember, this is your step back week so no harm there.

IJR - orange is good. I actually have a new pair of kinvaras coming in with some orange too.

Dan - true, thanks for the reminder; I tend to miss the point a lot

Smooth move. Some days are just not workout days and pushing the issue does more damage than good.
