Ahhh. . . . today is 59*F. MUCH better for running! I only had time for 2 miles but I averaged about a 10:35 min/mile pace with my heart rate averaging only 154 bpm, which is a brisk speed for me when it includes my (usually slow) warmup mile.
I just got a new pair of shoes and I think they're a big improvement, and I plan to wear them for the marathon. I am a strictly Asics gal - the men's models come wide enough and sturdy enough for my crappy duck feet. But the last pair I got was a new model (Gel-1120) without much cushion and I started getting some new aches and pains in my feet. Now in this pair (Gel-Foundation 7), after only a couple of runs, they're feeling better. I just wish they'd stop "improving" the shoes and stop discontinuing models that work for me!!
What a huge difference 24 hours makes. I was actually cold cycling today for the first few minutes, and then running later on I was freezing waiting for the group to start. Although I see it will be back to 80 again by mid-next week. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one who had to wear mens shoes because of my duck feet! They make good flippers for the swim though.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with New Balance changing their models every year. Have you tried to shop online for old models? I haven't had much luck with that myslef.
roadrunnersports.com is a pretty good place to find discontinued shoes. With very popular models they go back almost a decade.
