3.06 miles today in my lunas. I couldn't resist getting out there even though this is the fourth day in a row of running. What's better, I had a hell of a day! Ran an avg of 10:01 over that distance which is really good for me considering I was pushing a stroller, it's hotter than it has been lately, plus I ran 1.53 downhill and then 1.53 back up. My first 1.53 miles was at a 9:43 pace so really wasn't that much off that pace on the way back up. Had a shod runner who had beautiful form pass me as I was going back up and then he must have turned around where I did because a minute later he caught back up to me and told me I had great form and he couldn't understand how I could run in sandals. I told him thanks and likewise, I can't understand how people can run in regular shoes like he was because they hurt me so bad. He laughed and sped off, but he did look a little confused at my reply. He must be one of the lucky few who shoes don't hurt him or he just doesn't understand that you can run without foot pain from shoes. He was a tall lanky feller though and he looked super graceful and had no bounce without over striding. He actually made me really envious and hopefully someday I will develop form like that. There's just some people who make running at that pace look easy and I am not one of them yet.
Wow Nick you are on a roll, good for you!
On another note, do you mind sharing the link for the book? Jen gave it to me a few weeks ago but I can't find it now, please?
