Running: At The Beach...

Due to some technical difficulties I haven't been able to post my last couple of runs. But for whatever reason my iPod felt this one was worthy of uploading.

Anyway, I left some of my running gear over at the Red House where I was Monster-sitting last weekend so I decided to run at the beach last night rather than come all the way back to the gym at rush hour. From Sunset Park I made my way over to Rose. I took Rose down to the Strand then ran North along the Strand to Olympic. On some back-roads near Olympic I made my way inland back to the Red House. It was a good run and I appreciated the relatively clean air near the ocean (and cooler temps). And I'm TOTALLY loving my new Asics Gel Nimbus 10's! Thanks Starting Line!

If anyone is in the market for a stellar running shoes but doesn't have a clue where to start then I highly recommend The Starting Line in the Marina. They (and by 'They' I mean the 3 fellas 'working' that afternoon) studied my gait by having me walk in socks across the showroom floor. They pointed out that I have very high arches then brought out my Asics first thing. I went outside for a little run up and down the street to test out these sneakers. However, not totally convinced, I proceeded to try on a few more pairs of shoes only to realize that the first pair they recommended were spot on. And just because they're so rad they gave me a totally unexpected 10% discount! w00t!

Running: The Old Hood

Ran through Sunset Park yesterday...kept it short because every part of my being was telling me to take the night off.  However I took Thursday off and didn't want to have two days back to back of no running without good reason.  I felt slow.  My legs felt heavy, stiff and sore.  No running today for sure.  Despite how crappy I felt my time wasn't so bad.  

The break down:

Mile 1: 6'51"

Mile 2: 6'40"

Mile 3: 6'53"
