Finally…after taking a few days away from doing anything – 4 days exactly – I needed some recovery time

Today was good……hard, but good, I needed that.

New footwear – the latest from Brooks, the Glycerin 20 GTS….they felt a bit heavy. A little bit of structure..it’ll take a few runs before I decide if I like them or not….I’m still an Adrenaline guy, and the ASICS Nimbus has me bouncing around pretty well, but in order to sell a shoe I have to know how it feels, and how it works…reading about it isn’t good enough, running in them is invaluable….and who doesn’t like new shoes?

Tonight was hard..some of the run was on grass and single track, some on sidewalks and streets……and I just didn’t feel it….the crew I was running with were strong and quick, I just tried to keep up…….and just couldn’t……..out of breath for a lot of it, and just dog dead tired…but in the end it felt okay…

That usually happens….the run starts as a struggle, keeping up to others that are quicker than me, and in the end feels okay…and running with those faster runners, in the end also makes me stronger, quicker…sort of like a great tempo run…

the trick will be, to do it again, tomorrow….keep consistent, and keep calm and carry on…
