Was hoping for a nice, relaxed, easy-breezy run, but nope. Took about four miles before my body felt warmed up (which is why the 5K is the bane of my existence) and overall the whole run just felt like work. Probably the one-week running sabbatical didn't do much good, but you know...

First run in the Saucony Cortanas, and after a few stops to adjust the laces and stretch out my calves, they were pretty nice. Anyone know if the drop on these is any less than the Brooks PureFlow? My legs (particularly my calves) were pretty tired at first, and I wondered if that might be the cause.

Soooo... onto another week. Here's hoping it's a good one. Now I have to go kick my ass at some strength circuit Caleb M. prescribed this week. EEEEEK.

    Runs after time off always feel weird to me...so don't fret. Also, the Cortanas have the same drop as the PureFlows...4mm. So, it's some work for your calves compared to a "traditional" drop.

    Yup, just looked that up! Must just have some tight calves because I've been wearing the PureFlows just fine. Hmmmm. On to THOR! #bamf

    There is a reason I do distance races, it takes me at least 2 miles to warm up
