May 9 and 10, 2013

Two great early AM runs over the familiar territory.  A beautiful sunrise to start the day is always nice. A rare back to back to shakes things up a bit.  Moving forward I will try to vary my routes more, as I think the body (and mind, I suppose) gets in a rut traveling the same, predictable geography day in and day out.  Cool temps in the morning; nice fog layer today.  Shorts and sleeveless running tops moving forward.  New shoes (NB 1260 V-2)  arrived yesterday afternoon.  Could not run again with the previous pair: they were so shot that the last couple of runs I felt like I was running barefoot.  Went crazy and purchased new shorts and tops after taking relentless heat from the wife and children on how funky Daddy's clothes smelled...even after they'd been washed.  The word "funk" was thrown around a bit. Cannot remember the last time I bought new running clothes? A year? Two?  Anyhow, the folks at RoadRunner Sports do good work and I highly recommend them. Weekend off.
