Objective: general aerobic, 3 mi easy + 6 mi moderate Conditions at [groan] 4:50: Low 40's, clear, light breeze. 20 min. strength work after run This is probably my favorite kind of run, though I'd have liked to go up to 11 or 12 miles: a lengthy warmup for my old body, followed by a strong but not exhausting effort. I'm still a bit sore from Tuesday. I used the Stick before going out, which helped.
One of my Ravelry buddies was telling me about a drill where you do butt kicks with only one leg for about 100 meters, then do the other leg. I started to give it a try this morning, but I'm still too sore and so abandoned the trial for another day. She was also taught to do this drill at the beginning of a run (though I waited until after my warm up to even try it). New Shoes Update: Back in the Triax shoes today. Ah. These are the new 12 models, which feel exactly like the 11's. I couldn't tell any difference. I'll give the Air Spans one more chance, maybe tomorrow, but if they still make my feet grumpy they're going back.
