Fly me to the moon...

I felt good today and ran 4 miles.  It was the old route around the parking lot and recreation fields that I used to do.  Total time was 30:11 (7:33/mile).

A quick run today with a bit of excitement.  It has been a little warmer during the day here so the snow has been melting and then refreezing at night.  It has created many icy, slick spots.  I have manages to stay on my feet up to this point, but today was the exception.  I was going around a turn and slipped.  I got up pretty quickly and didn't think much about it except for my hand that I skinned up a bit, but as the day has gone on my knee and ankle were bothering me more.  We'll see how it feels tomorrow.  Total time was 16:44 (8:22/mile).

The knee and ankle were still a little sore today, but it didn't bother me on my run.  I had to stop and walk a few times over the really icy spots.  Total time was 24:10 (8:03/mile).

Another quick 2 along the golf course.  My New Balance shoes are hurting my knees and ankles to run in.  It might be time for some new shoes.  One thing I have noticed about shoes and consistent (or lack thereof) running is that you can put a lot more miles on shoes if you run consistently.  If you run off and on or 3-4 times a week, you will be lucky to get 400-500 miles on a pair of shoes.  If you run 6 days a week consistently, your body gets used to the routine and adapts to the pounding.  You can run on older shoes with no problem or shoes with less cushioning and not get injured.  I've seen this in my running and in others.  I don't know if everyone can run for 3000+ miles on a pair of shoes like Sasha or run in Five fingers or Crocs for that matter, but I think most people could run more than 400 miles on a pair of shoes without injury.  Just my 2 cents.  Total time for my run today was 15:51 (7:55/mile).

I did the loop out by the stake center building.  My knees and ankles were a little sore and stiff starting out, but they loosened up by the end.  Total time was 30:14 (7:57/mile).
