Heh, I just have to add to Richard’s comment. I got a new pair of Saucony Tangents - Racing flats and I love them. Not just cause they are pink but cause they are so light and yet my feet still felt cushioned enough. I did about 12k total in them tonight and while I wasn’t “Wicked fast” (that’s on the bottom of the runner) I was faster than usual…lol. :-)

You can find some really good compromises - look for performance trainers such as the Saucony Tangents, or even some Asics Lantreths. Much lighter than most, still cushioned enough that you can do long runs in them without worrying about it, but not so cushioned that you can’t feel your form differences.

Treat yourself to the running flats. You’ll be amazed by the difference they make. Since I started wearing mine I’ve found that my feet, shins, knees (actually my entire leg) have been far less sore. They’re also going to help you achieve the form you’re looking for. Spend the money…you won’t regret it!

108/62, and 54? I thought you said you were stressed at work!

Obviously, someone needs to drop another project on you…

It always amazes me, reading your posts, that you have trouble running slow enough - my challenge is completely the opposite, I try to run fast enough so senior citizen would not pass me walking :D Have a great weekend Jon, Tracy XOX

Great job on the physical. Wish my recent one was that good. My blood pressure sucks. Oh well… :-)

Is it a hot bath or an ice bath you need? Do take it easy. You don’t want to mess up those shins during your training:) And yeah, get those new shoes. You deserve it!

That sounds about normal for hard training marathon training… :) If you don’t already, read Leilani’s blog, linked off of Alison’s site. She’s feeling the same way right about now. My prediction is that it will all be good, especially after you take it easy this weekend. Rest up, eat enough healthy food, and hydrate!

Sounds like your going to be able to control your pace with ease this weedend. (Should have thought ahead and put lemonade in the cup!)

Nice heart rate/blood pressure!

Good luck keeping the pace down on Saturday. It does sound like your body needs this easy week.

Oh, was peeing in the cup the actual test? :-)
