am - Two days of no running on the roads and my legs felt pretty good. I woke up early and went for a 4 mile run before work. I can already tell the new shoes are making a difference. The bottoms of my feet were hurting the last couple of weeks. But so far not in these shoes. I lost track of the mileage in the others but it should have been between 300 and 400. I ran slow and easy. But the calf twinged a little near the end. But the best thing about this morning's run was the way the wind was blowing. It allowed the wonderful smell of freshly baked doughnuts to permeate the air from the local bakery. * feel free to leave your favorite police officer / doughnut joke in the comments section.
pm - After work went out for another 6. Again, I kept it easy....or at least I tried to. I was running by feel but when I checked some of the splits I realized I was running a little faster than I should be right now. The best thing for me right now is just to keep running easy miles until my legs are ready to do more.
