Good Run Yesterday

The Half Marathon isn't very far away! And I haven't been running well lately. I got a new pair of running shoes last week hoping that new shoes would help. Yesterday I ran 8 miles in 67 minutes. That's a 8:22 pace. Not my finest work, but it's better than what I've been doing lately. After half-way throug the run I felt a blister forming on my left pinkie toe. Two miles later a blister was coming on my right pinke toe. I'm attributing it to the new shoes. I can understand that my feet may need to adjust a little bit since I had been wearing the same style of shoes for two years. And I'm not using the superfeet in my running shoes anymore. I shouldn't need to. So today I woke up and my right knee was hurting pretty bad. Again, my legs are just adjusting. They need the adjustment because I don't think they were in the correct alignment before. I am going to make sure that I do my arch exercises so I don't get shin splints. Then, I will be ready for this race. I need to have a 8:00 mile pace for it. I can do it!

Tonight I will probably ride my bike. I need to get my bike legs back. I would love to go mountain biking, but there isn't anyone to ride with this week. Oh well.
