I don't know that I would call my three miles today "fast" but they were under 8:00/mile and they felt pretty good considering the naggng arch (can't wait for the cortisone today at 11:00). Felt pretty crappy for the first lap and speaking of crappy had to stop in at the house for a couple minutes for a potty break. The second lap wasn't much better but after that, things started to loosen up. The legs began to feel strong and my breathing felt effortless. I felt like I could have picked up the pace even faster than I did, but decided against it considering all my nagging issues of late. Ran in the new shoes again today and they really felt good. Don't know if it's the shoes or my mind but I do feel better when I run in the new shoes. Will probably try to do tomorrow run a bit faster as well and then just log the miles for the rest of the week leading up the Corporate Challenge 5K on Sunday. I'm not overly excited about running on Sunday, my usual day of church and rest, but my team needs my time and points, hopefully I can come through and earn some points. We shall see.
Time: 8:07/mile
