Day 5 - April 8, 2011

Not much to say today, 11.2 miles in an hour and twenty minutes.  Looks like we have a front rolling in so it was uber windy.  It was a recovery run and tried to keep my Heart Rate (HR) < 147 bpm or 70% of my max.  I was generally sucessful.  I find that if I do not look at my pace screen it is easier to run slower.  The second I look at my average pace I have an overbearing desire to bring my pace time down. 

I have a PT test tomorrow so I had added incentive not to over do it.  Should be in good shape for tomorrow.  Since tomorrow is the PT test and supposed to b e my long run day, i'm thinking i'll just push my long run to Sunday.  Should not cause too much of a problem. 

Quick shoe note,  I know shoes and running are highly personal so I can only speak for myself.  That being said,  I think I need to run with the pholiosphy (pun intended) that: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  My forray into the North Face shoes seems to be ill advised.  I have been running on either the Asicis Kayano or DS-Trainer for over 4 years and nary a blister.  I got caught up in wanting to try something new and sexy.  i guess you can't blame me but I think I'm going to stick with my Asics and I'll use the sexy TNF shoes for casual wear! 

TGIF!
