Good run, a little on the cold side. I wore shorts and long sleeve shirt, a nice beanie would be fine.
Went complex to Drum Point to Old Hooper to Brick Blvd and back to complex
I wanted to warm up real easy and try to progressively just quicken up the pace every mile. The miles roll and it seemed on Brick Blvd where it went up, the wind also kicked up.
Over all I loved this run and came up with hopefully a great concept for a post next week. Did some great thinking.
I think I may have solved the shoe blister issue. I think the original Asics insole are causing them. I switched to a set of Nike's I had, and I had no blister issue. If anythings the shoes felt great. My knees are liking teh shoes, but not the cold wind.

Lunch Time Run
I will make this short and sweet
Got out a hour later (thanks to a conference call), temps in the 60s and sunny.
6 miles in 59:16 (9:53 avg)
Plan was to stay 9:45-10:00 pace, had I not had to deal with poochies I would have been dead on.
9:40
9:56
10:21 (had to stop because of dog on trail without leash)
10:03 (ditto like above)
9:29
9:46
I don't mind dogs, but I would wish owners would keep there dogs on leashes. I am sure Benji, is perfectly harmless, but when he is coming at me barking and growling and wont let me by, I so start to worry. I'm just sayin', dog owners please go on your way.
like shoes, but starting to get weird blisters on inside of heel. I hope its just the insoles.

In Run observations
some thoughts
- I am getting two weird blisters on my heel parallel with the sole of my foot. It looks like my foot is rubbing against insole. I hope its not the shoes.
- Trail running is great except when you come up on a dogs with out leashes.
- Felt like late March out there today and to think its only January 8, go figure?
- I have to eat and drink more before runs.
Last nights belated run and NEW shoe report
Since I went to lunch with Mrs. SJT, plan was to go run after getting home from work. This is usually around 6 so lets say it would be another dark run.
Right before I left work, my wife calls me and tells me my new shoes showed up. As you may have read previously, my ASICS Kayano 13s had to be returned because they were the wrong size. No one had them in stock, so they had to be shipped from some other source.
Whatever, I was excited. I got home, grabbed a very quick bite, got changed and went out the door. Lets say I would be running with the stars...that is using the faint light that is being emitted by them to see where I was going. My town has street lights sporadically placed. This was going to be fun.
I ran the Mathistown Route and that hill has 1/4 mile stretches with nothing but woods and no lights. I kept praying for cars, so I could at least see from there headlights where I was. Add to the fact that there were animal sounds and rustling coming from the woods, and I was spooked. But I was trying to concentrate on the shoes and I was not letting it bother me.
The Stats:
5.25 miles in 50:55 (9:42 avg)
10:28
9:58
9:31
9:15
9:18
2:21 (.25 @ 9:26)
Good run, but I do wish I had stuck to the pace for the first mile. I let it get away from me.
The Shoes:
My initial observations are that the cushioning in them is a little better than the cushioning in my Nike Air Coos. The fit is great. Enough toe box space, and just enough room so where blisters may not be an issue. It looks like to get a true assessment I will need another 40-50 miles on them, but so far very pleased.
My legs were sore after Sunday's workout, but the shoes did not seem to beat them up to much. Asa matter of fact, I would say that the reason I got away from pace was because my legs were feeling great. So big thumbs up on that so far. I will have to wait and see how I feel as the miles progress.
The only "bad" points I have is the insoles. they are very flimsy. I read that this might be an issue. So it looks like I may have to order some replacement ones.
Well thats it so far.
Stay tune, more to come......
