4:00 PM
Weather: Gorgeous. I didn't look at the actual thermometer but it was absolutely fantastic. Again.
Playlist: Down by the Water by The Decemberists and Jessica by The Allman Brothers (it's my favorite song to run to so that will be on here a lot)
Shoes: Nike Free 4.0
Location: Loop around Roosevelt High School and Hubbell Elementary School
Running Partner: The whole family! We all went out for a walk with the girls in the double stroller. After five minute warm-up, Mollie and I took off running. Well, I was running. Mollie was hesitant today, I actually felt like I was dragging her along with me for a good deal of the run. She crashed way harder than I did when we got home.
Distance/Pace: There were a few hiccups in the tracking here like that big slow-down at minute 7 where Mollie decided she had to stop and do her dogly business and I didn't quite get it paused in time before it took a big hit off my pace. Also, at the end, those were walking after I was done running. Still, I had less than an 11:00 mile without even doing this for a week yet.
How it Felt: Great actually! I felt like I wasn't trying that hard the first several minutes and I never really got winded. I didn't have any pain in my feet or lower legs while I was running. When I stopped, that familiar pain in my right shin was there, but not for long. I'm really liking running in the Nike Frees but I think it's because there's no stability rather than because there's no cushioning. I really like the cushioning of the LunarGlides but there's too much stability in them. Hopefully, whenever I get new shoes I can find a good mix of cushioning and flexibility. That's why the Brooks PureFlows are captivating me at the moment. I'm actually really looking forward to tomorrow.
