Best run

Long one today, a beautiful, cool, sunny day. 66 minutes, long for the year. Here's the map link: http://bit.ly/d0aec8

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.
