1/2 Got Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 for everyday use in exchange for different shoes that had a manufacturing defect. They felt so good that I decided to run in them and were great on the first run this morning.

Breaking in Brooks Ghost 17 running shoes. I returned the Nike Pegasus because I was getting glute soreness on one side and achilles soreness on the other. These so far feel more comfortable.

I’ve been nursing glute soreness on my right side. So I’ve been taking it easy. No pain today. So after one more easy shorter run tomorrow I’ll try and pick up the tempo again.

Just got an Apple Watch SE 3 mostly for tracking fitness, first watch I’ve owned in over 20 yrs. One thing I learned right away was to have watch on tight for workouts otherwise it might pause if sensor loses connection with your wrist. So a 14 mi run became a 12.28 mi run according to watch.

Went to lunch with my daughter today at Izumi Sushi & Asian Bistro. I ate a lunch Chicken Teriyaki Bento with lunch special Salmon and Spicy Tuna Rolls. Spokane, WA.

Nice second run in the Nike Pegasus. They aren’t as responsive as my other shoes as I feel they work my leg muscles and glutes more which is a perfect complement to my other shoes. They also keep pushing me forward like I’m going too slow.

Easy run to start breaking in new pair of Nike Pegasus 41

Hello running shoe companies. Please make more colors available for wide shoes please.

There are scientific reasons why you run faster in cooler weather like your body needing more energy to combat heat and keep you alive thus taking energy away from your muscles for performance. But, I like to think that it's cold as heck and just want to get home faster.

Rainy run and I was completely soaked by the end

Got a new pair of Merrell Nova 4 for snow, mud and technical trails. Retired my last pair. I’m breaking them in slowly as I don’t plan on using them until we get a good amount of snow.

The new shoes are definitely faster, about 30-45 seconds faster per mile at this point

When I run, my legs want to immediately go at DragonForce speed. Rest of me says to start at Lionel Richie speed, one of the most important things I learned running. I start each run very slow while maintaining gait with shorter strides, has prevented sore legs. No injuries either. *knock on wood*

I usually do some jumping jacks and a-skips right before my run. This morning a couple of deer in the front yard stared at me for a bit and took off. I totally felt judged. I know my jumping jacks were a little slack but wildlife judging me is a whole new experience.

Got new running shoes, Brooks Glycerin 22. While made for hard surfaces, they did really well on light trail and dirt roads. They pushed me to go faster than trail shoes.
