Just Plodding Along

Once again the race photographers have captured some real gems. From the Arizona Distance Classic : In other news I finished the Hunger Games Trilogy and loved it. I am not sure I want to see the movie though. Would the film version ruin it for me?  I also have some new shoes. I ordered them awhile ago off running warehouse  and they were around $50, After the half on Sunday my legs have been a little sore, more than usual. After thinking about it I realized my current Nike's have probably around 400 miles on them. Since I am a heavier runner that is about all they can take.  So these bright white wonders are for the longer distances and the old Nike's are only for treadmill and shorter distances. I like having two pairs of shoes to switch between. Seems to relieve some aches and pains to have different shoes and now that I am running more days back to back seems like a good idea. And to wrap up this rambling I ran six miles in 59 minutes...

Coming through the wall (this was really for the marathoners but we got to run through too). I look like I am about to get run over by the guy in yellow behind me. Check out those mountains. So pretty! Hardest effort to date. (2 hour finish you will be mine.....if I do speed work and learn to be less of a baby.) Me and A and our awesome medals. You know someone is a true friend if they will stand this close to you after you have run hard for 13.1 miles. Pictures from Arizona Half This thumbs up is a total lie. Nice race, bad attitude. Probably never been so happy to be done with a race in my life. Once again these are the 'good' photos. I have decided running is not a very pretty sport. But looking at these makes me excited for my next half! A week and a half off of running and I kind of miss it. I m...
