it was a great weekend but it is over.  Took Sunday off again although I really wanted to run.  Got in 4.4 at lunch and 5 after work. I think my left ankle tendonitis is coming back.  I'll have to see how it feels tomorrow.

messeed up my eating prior to this. had a snack at 3:30 and then didn't get out until 5:15.  I got really weak in the middle of this one.  But I pressed on through and I felt ok towards the end.  It didn't feel this slow, but I got stuck at at least a couple traffic lights...

 My foot felt ok today.  My lower legs are tired though.  I have to get new shoes.  I'm just voer 700 miles on these, which is a new high for me I think.

still getting used to this heat.  this one was harder than it should be.  i used some old shoes that only had 550 miles on them.  they felt downright springy compared to that other boxes I was wearing on my feet.  Those brooks that I have been wearing, I don't think I like them.  Going back to the Miuzuno, the Brooks feel a clumpy, I think I'll go back to Asics or Mizunos for the next pair.

It was a beautiful day.  I took this one easy - this route gets me mentally a lot of the time and I end up paying for it at the end.  So I just cruised along.  about 7:45 miles over all.

Ran at lunchtime at work.  I enjoyed at least two mintues of this one.  Running is feeling like work recently.  Next week the tuesday night track nights start and run through June.  That will give me some much needed variety as well as some speedwork.  Hopefully I'll be able to do most of them.

Went out at 10AM.  My left lower leg was hurting a bit yesterday on my run.  It is the muscle on the inside below the knee kind of underneath the tibia.  Not sure what the deal is other than old shoes making things hurt.  I woke up at 3 AM and ordered some.  I can't wait for them to come in. 

Anyway it was a little sore for most of the run but nothing that wasn't managable.  And towards the end I didn't feel it anymore.  I guess adrenaline took over or something.  But it was a pretty comforable run over some hilly roads in the Druid Hills neighborhood. 

Maybe the pasta dinner last night helped with the energy level today...

13.25 in 7:29 pace.
