3 in a row

Another good run tonight. This is the first time I've run three days in a row since...well, ever. I think this is a first for me. Tonight's run wasn't long, just a little over a mile, but it was very very strong, finishing up at a pace just short of a sprint, a pace I held for nine blocks. Probably somewhere around 7:15 pace. The entire mile couldn't have been over 10 minutes (slower start). My strides were long and my foot placement sure. (I wish the shoes would hurry up and break in already! They still feel like boards.) And the last six or seven blocks were especially nice, as I finally achieved "flow" - that rare moment in running when it just becomes perfect and effortless and time itself warps. I've only experienced that once or twice before.

Your shoes shouldn't feel that bad even if they are brand new. Are you sure you have been fit properly? Go see Todd at Jackrabbit tomorrow for shoe advice
