Hey, I'm first this week!
I'm kinda psyched today because I got new running shoes during tax-free weekend here in NC (New Balance W755C), and I had my first run with them today -- 4.2 miles on the treadmill in 43 minutes. They are SO comfortable! My old shoes served me well, but were getting worn out as they were at least a year old, so it was time for a fresh pair. Ah so cushy and good support too. Just wearing them really motivated me to start the week out with a good run.
Me happy!
Emily

I did a 3 sport brick and my 5 km run was the crappiest part of the whole thing. Dang shins. I'm going to give them 4 days off then try again.

Light on our feet? I felt like lead weights were strapped to my ankles. I did a 7 mile run yesterday. I set myself up for failure. I wore a cotton t-shirt instead of a sleeveless tank. I didn't bring water. And I wore a baseball hat instead of a sunglasses and sweat band. To top it off, I left for my run at 1:30 in the afternoon. 87 degrees and very humid.
I walked/jogged the last 1.5 miles. But I made it. Easy run tomorrow. Pace run on Friday. And then, hopefully, an 8 mile run on Sunday.

My calves are so sore and tight I was afraid my heels would never touch the ground when I got up this morning. No running for me!!
