Stroller pushin in Texas

I thought I was out for an EZ run.  I think I put more effort into this run than I wanted.  8 miles at 8mm, out and back on the base.

3.35 miles on the TM early in the morning.  I could just not get running out of me in the early AM hours.  Went into the weight room instead.

1 mile of Natural Running drills

2 mile run with Ian Adamson.  He told me I needed to pick up the cadence pace of my legs.   

4 miles with Ian Adamson and other runners on base.  I ran in Newtons for the four miles which they tell you not to do.  They felt rather natural to my feet and I want to invest in a pair for my next running shoe.

5 miles on my own later. 

Ian Adamson (7x World Champion of Adventure Racing, Bad Water Masters division winner, 200 x triathlon pro athlete) came to little old Laughlin Airforce Base to give a FREE running clinic this past week.  I had the opportunity to listen to him lecture about everything running for two days.  His main focus was to teach about Natural Running and Newton shoes.  I think I am baptized to the forefoot shoes that he had us train in and buy if we wanted to.

Such an amazing experience to run with a world class athlete and have him analyze my gait.  I am thinking about becoming a Newton coach as well.   

I am also ready to throw all of my shoes away that are not close to zero drop.  ;) 

Today was one of those days I just couldn't do what I wanted to do.  12 not 18.  Oh well, life will go on.  This was suppose to be "easy week" for me anyway.  4 weeks until the marathon.
