Painless running!

Ran 46 minutes today after 45 on Tuesday. No pain except for my shoulder which could hardly be called a running injury....

Back at it

Ran about 30 minutes today. First time in a long time. Very slow and very cognizant of striking heel first in my Sauconys. No pain in the calf and nothing else wrong either. It's a miracle!

Again?

So, yesterday I tried to run again. That lasted 4 minutes until my calf heartily balked again. Ended up walking for a half hour and soaking in the hot tub. Today I walked again and while still feeling tightness in the calf at least I'm not limping (much).

Bad Run

Ran just 8 minutes today on the beach before popping a calf muscle. Still hobbling around the house tonight...

Barefootin'

I ran ten minutes on the beach today using my new Vibram five-finger shoes. Pretty cool, through water, over shells, etc. Felt fast. Later I ran 40 minutes in my regular shoes. Too early to compare the effect on this old body.

Running

On Saturday I ran 55 minutes at moderate speed and felt really good. So Monday I decided to kick it up and pay attention to my speed with an occasional fahrtlich. Turns out I could do it for a full 30 minutes which is encouraging after running more and more slowly for the last year or so.

Ah, Minneapolis

Having out of state visitors gave us an excuse to revisit some wonderful places.
