I got new shoes and LOVE them.  I was running in trail shoes before, they are good shoes but I absolutely love the new asics.  

It felt way good to run a longer run today.

Once again I took advantage of having a babysitter and got to run.  Just the normal 5 miler.  I don't get to much variety in my running, but I still love it so I am happy with that.

Same 5 as usual.  I am loving my new shoes and need to remember to switch off with my old ones so that they will last longer, but I have struggled with that so far.  I hope to up my miles next week.  We will see what happens with that.  I would love to be ready for the Hurricane 1/2.

Today I ran the same 8 mile route as the first time I ran 8.  That was fun.  My leg felt ok as I ran, but now that it is later it is starting to hurt again.  As I was running I looked down at my feet and noticed that my right foot does land weird and I am sure that has something to do with the pain.  We will see.  I would love to break the 8 mile barrier I am on and go for at least 10 next week but I don't want to do permanent damage to my leg.
