Return to some friends!

Today was to be an easy recovery run and my wife suggested that I hold off to the evening and run with all the folks from Runners Alley. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the group runs, but when I train I tend to be more focused on my particular goals. I decided that I would join in tonight and I was glad that I did as I got to see lots of friends and catch up with the running community. I also replaced my warn out Nimbis for a new pair that were pretty nifty looking! I also discussed the idea of trying the Newton’s, a minimalist running shoe. That will be a conversation for another day.

So with new shoes and some old friends I coasted through 4 miles (my exact requirement) and enjoyed myself and the shoes made a huge difference in some of the discomfort that I have been feeling. Hope it’s more than a placebo effect thing. Everything felt really good and my hopes are high for a great 16 mile run on Saturday. I’m also thrilled to be back on schedule for a Saturday run.

Tomorrow will be strength training in the morning and rest my legs day.

Be well!
