I am seriously loving all the costumes/outfits! Is it bad I still am not sure what I am wearing?
I have a confession of sorts though... and kinda need absolution.
I think it was princessV who recommended the brooks pure flow to me...even mentioned that they were on sale? I have been noticing a bit more aches and pains in my feet and joints... but truly that could just be the added miles over the last month. However, after putting on so many miles on my "new" shoes I could see that they were showing wear... and I was sure I would need a new pair for after the phm.... so I figured why not give them a shot?
The price online was awesome AND I found a code for free express shipping. Bought them sunday night and they arrived here late tuesday morning.
I decided it couldn't hurt to take them for a 5 mile run today, right?
Tell me how it is that without a lot more effort I shaved 30 or 40 seconds off of my pace???!!! I didn't feel that I was killing myself at all. Now, In honesty I did have to cut my run by about 3/4 mile short. Nature called a little too loudly
I think I could have even had a better pace had it not been for trying to get through that... urge, as well as the fact that the elevation changes for me come during the first 3 miles in my route... and the last couple is where I pick back up my pace.
So... I did the unthinkable and bought a brand new pair of shoes....but worse... I think I want to run in them for the phm
Is that horrible? Obviously there is a few more runs in my future before the phm to perhaps try them a bit more.... but
