My legs are still sore from the race. Ran 3 miles easy on the treadmill then ran 2.5 miles at <6:15 pace. I wanted to run a 5k with the first two miles at 6:15 then drop the pace to 6 or less for the last mile for a 18:40's 5k, but my little guy came in screaming and I couldn't ignore it for another 3 mins....so had to stop....dang. The last time I ignored him, he jumped on the treadmill with me, causing me to stomp on him, gain two unsightly bloody goose eggs, and PTSD as a bonus. One more reason to go to the gym. Returned back and thought about returning to pace for the last .5 but suddenly felt "too tired":) and felt too much time lapsed for the same effect. Oh well, excuses. I went with the easier option and jogged the last half mile for cool down. 6 total. Two new shoes to add to the list....another pair of Brook Ravenna 2's, and Mizzuno Wave Nexus 5. I like these because they are on the lighter side for stability shoes, but durable enough to last at least 400 miles. And to me, that is stretching the shoe budget since I haven't seen any testing shoes yet.
