Weather - 73 degrees, cloudy.

Just an easy 3 miles today. Legs felt good, no muscle soreness from yesterdays 23 miles. It feels good to be able to run 3.5 hours and have no bad effects the next day.

After the run 2 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 45 minute walk home.

Decided it was time to buy new shoes, so I went to Body 'n Sole and bought 2 pair - Asics and Mizunos. 

Felt excited to run in new shoes, ended up going 8.5 miles. 2.25 miles were barefoot at the arboretum, then I ran a new route at the South Farms which I discovered on my 23 mile run a couple of days ago. The Mizuno's felt awesome. I was about 300 miles overdue for shoes, I am lucky my feet tolerated the old ones.

After the run 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home.

4.5 easy miles through the park and woods.

Wore my new Asics. The right shoe slips a bit on the heel, so I had to tie the laces further up the shoe, which then presses the top of the shoe into my foot. It is not perfect, but still usable. I will use the Asics for short easy runs and the Mizunos for longer, harder workouts.

3 easy miles at the arboretum. I found a new area at the arboretum where I can do strength exercises, so I will probably be doing more workouts than usual at the arboretum.

After the run 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 30 minute walk home.

3.5 easy miles at the arboretum, followed by 3 sets of strength exercises and stretching. 

The 7.5 mile trail race at Kickapoo is this Sunday. My muscular fitness is good, but due to allergies my energy is never over 80%, and my respiration is always poor. Because of this I won't be trying to set any PR's at the race, rather, I am just going to enjoy running on the trails and try my best to run a hard pace.

3 easy miles around town.

My competitive spirit wants to do well at the race this Sunday, but my allergies won't allow it. I can't run without getting tightness in my lungs, so I will try to be content with running middle of the pack.

One of my old college friends who lives near Farmdale will be going to the race next month to cheer me on in my quest to run 33 miles. After the race if I can still stand I will take him to lunch. I am sure I will be famished.
