run 1500 miles in 2008

Tried out my new Pearl Izumi’s I had feared the shoes weren’t going to be what i wanted, but…they seemed to perform well. my only issue was some unpleasant chaffing.
Of course the fact that we now have a normal temperature, not 95 degrees F…probably helped a lot.

two 3 mile runs…
363.5

getting a bit better as time goes along…
I just gotta keep moving.
got new shoes today, will have to wait for Monday to try them out…working all weekend!!!

one more mile. not alot, really was not feeling it today at all.
blech 357.5

Pearl Izumi’s ad to celebrate the fact that soon, very soon…in a few days…as soon as they are delivered, I will be back in PI’s.

well I keep trying to add the ic but it wont let me.

3.0 miles today.

It was not easy and I did get the cherry beet colored face. As I walked into the gym afterwards, my coach was manning the front desk…she looked mildly amused.
I feel a little down as only a few months ago this 3 would have been a fun run. Today it was definitely a challenge.

2.5 miles.

better than before. but. not as good as it couldbe.
Stu seems happy with his miles, I on the other hand am just accepting defeat.

little mile on the treadmill.

I was not in the mood, as my quads are rather hurting…
so I just did a little.

Not a good run yet again. I need a rest day actually. WHich I will get on Sunday. SO Saturday is going to be horrific.
But the good news is that I am running and my legs are not the issue with the bad runs. its jsut that I am out of shape.
250.35

moving right along.

Image specifically for Halloween. :)

Wow it was a horrible run. Either I am out of shape or just feeling unwell…

348.05

Moving right along though back to being able to run. Yay me.
nice weather interesting halloween houses, big big hills. I think they grew overnight.

I got to run outside today as we have a cold front.
it ws nice, faster than I expected, but not really fun yet.
recovery is good, maybe i can run for one year without injury?
that would be good.

343.

definitely feeling an improvement. Though given a choice, I will not have any joint injected ever again. I still have a large bruise on my hip and the only pain I now feel is at the injection site and odd numbness in my toes…
Its getting better though. i swear it!
