5 miles at school.  Windy.

This was not my finest week of running.  It was busy but good in other respects.  Caleb's basketball team made it to state...only to get killed in the "elite 8" game by a team with a bunch of tall and big guys on it.  But heck, they are all 5th and 6th graders and this was a 7th grade tourney, so they had a great season and there's always next year.

I've successfully avoided long runs over the last two weeks.  I'm in desperate need of new shoes.  I can feel it in my knees and hips.  I've ordered new ones, and they've already shipped!

A nice 5 miles, still in old shoes.  It was almost 60 today, maybe hovering around 50 when I ran, but I didn't bring the right clothes to school.  So I was overdressed.  Shorts would have been great, but it wasn't terrible because it was really windy.

Splits:  9:06 (maybe a little under 9, my watch didn't pick up right away and I had to guess), 8:21, 8:23, 8:27, 8:25).  Not sure why I felt the need to go that pace, but it felt good.

Wanted to run after school but before a late meeting, but didn't quite have enough time.  Squeezed in 2 in my new shoes.  I don't think I like them.

It was a glorious day.  I kept it at an easy pace, but did try to push it a bit in the last mile.  Splits:  9:09, 8:47, 8:42, 8:34, 8:10.

But for the wind, this run was awesome.  In the last mile, I stopped to walk for .05 miles into the wind and then was able to turn so it wasn't in my face full force.  All that meant was that because I knew that my run was going to end before I got to my house, I wouldn't have to end my run into the wind.  It made sense at the time.

Splits:  8:53, 8:29, 8:30, 8:22, 8:23, 8:28, 8:31, 8:22

Went to Kansas City with a group of students.  A few of them ran with me in the early morning before we went to Mass.  They all ended at 4 miles.  Wimps.

My hip is really bothering me, and this run was particularly bad.  I need to be better about stretching and core work.  That will be my priority this coming week over running.
