good Short run before the rain 2.34 mi 00:25 10:41 pace
I got a short run in before the rain started. I might have gone farther if a fertilizer truck hadn't been spraying along my route and choking me out with the nasty smell. Yuck! Splits: 10:... read more

good 40 min easy run 3.79 mi 00:41 10:56 pace
I forgot to log this one yesterday... Didn't get out until 10:15, and it was hot! Hopefully I sweated out a lot of toxins, along with burning lots of calories. :)

alright 30 min taper run 3.14 mi 00:32 10:08 pace
Well, the good news is that I set a new PR for a 5k. The bad news is that I'm supposed to be tapering, running slow and trying out my salt pills, Gu gel and sports drink. Consequently on thi... read more

good 1 hour moderate pace run 5.62 mi 01:00 10:43 pace
Well, I had to run out and buy some new Nike Free Runs this morning. The Saucony's were too padded and thick and it felt clunky to run in them. I guess once you run in a minimal shoe, it... read more

I tried the Kinvaras on at Dick's last week and they felt good, but the sales person said that they didn't have much support. That's probably why I liked them, Lol. The cushioning feels good, if I can just get used to the way they feel kind of clunky compared to a minimal shoe.
