Hot damn. (Running.)

10 miles. I did it. Go me!

I'm still having trouble adjusting to the new shoes (ASICS). I finally have the correct kind of shoe (cushioning instead of stability), but my ankles still remain very displeased. I may have to start taping them so they get some support.

The first two miles were a bear. My left ankle and front of foot hurt, I wasn't going very fast, and I just wasn't sure if I was going to make it. Once I hit the 2nd lake, though, I knew I could do it. Just not at a good speed. That's okay. I was deliberately holding back, because the right knee is still tender (and taped), and the left ankle was indeed giving me problems. I'll do speedwork this week.

Turns out that 3 slices of mushroom & sausage bianca sauce pizza the night before and then 2 slices the morning of is the perfect training food for me. Who knew? Glad to know now....

Next Saturday, 13 miles. Saturday the 21st, 16. As I have other things to do on the 28th, I'll run 10 on Friday the 27th. Labor Day weekend? 20 miles, baybee. Ooof. Good times.

Heh. Thank you. When the running is going well, it's heaven. But there are days....
