ok 6

 ON

I think this was my last run in my ON Running shoes. Time to switch out my pairs. I feel everything in them and they seem to hurt my ankles.

My run was ok. I havent been feeling well. Allergies and whatnot and havent been sleeping well, so body was feeling a bit tired and worn out. Just went for an easy run. 6km at an OK pace.

good 6

 ON

Had a good run. 6km. took it easy and ran a good pace. Didnt want to push. I dont know if I will have time tomorrow to run,, but if I do I want to have a good one, so I took it easy today.

I wore my ON shoes and could really feel the difference. It is really time to retire them.

great 10

 HOKA

great run this morning. Almost perfect weather. A little breezy, but besides for that perfect for running. After a couple days of no running, I was itching to go. I got out early enough and ran strong. As soon as I went out I said I want to hit 10. So, I ran 10km at full strength.

good 7

 HOKA

good 7km run. Over the next few days we are supposed to be experiencing a heat wave, so today I made sure to get out earlier. It was already very warm, but nice and I got in a good 7km run. Comparing how my HOKA shoes felt this morning to how my ON felt last night, I really think it is time to retire the ON shoes and move on to my next pair. I will probably run in them once or twice more before deciding it as a final decision (assuming they continue to feel that way)

ok 6

 ON

After taking most of last week off of running (after a couple of bad runs early in the week), I got back to it tonight with a 6km run. The run was ok. I felt ok, though a little out of routine and form felt bad. I am pretty sure my ON shoes are on their last legs and it might be time to put them out to pasture.

ok 6.5

 ON

not a great run but thought it would be. Was feeling good but as I was running my lower legs just felt so worn out. I think it was bad form. When I would try to correct it things would get better, but I just could not hold it today. 

I ran 6.5km at an ok pace. Not great, not bad.

gloomy 10

 HOKA

I went for a run thinking I'd run maybe 18km, or even 20, and then nearly ran just 200m. I was feeling tight and uncomfortable and everything just felt wrong. I nearly bailed a a couple of times, first at 200meters, and then again shortly after. I kept going figuring I would just make it a short and slow run. It got slightly better as my body warmed up. The winds and overcast skies did not really make it more pleasant of a run. 


I then planned to stop at 5km - just get myself to there and that would be respectable enough. As I was approaching 6 I said I'll just go a little more. I kept doing that and soon enough I figured I'll just try to hit double digits/ I was slow, it was difficult, it was uncomfortable, but I did it. 10km.

easy 6.5

 HOKA

did I say yesterday that I was not goin to run today? Well, I ran today. Just felt like it. But just to stretch the legs and get some fresh air. I went out with the intent to have a soft and easy run. No pushing myself, no hard work. And that's what I did. I ran easy. I was going to run 5 but ended up running 6.5km.

And, yes, I did cross paths with a kid riding a unicycle.

staggered 8.5

 HOKA

this is a run that should have been longer, but also shouldnt have happened. 8.5km at a fast pace,  but I was interrupted so many times with work and personal issues, I just couldnt get into a rhythm, plus it was super unusually hot. But, at the end fof the day, i got the run in, and that's better than not running.

very good 7

 ON

very good 7km mid-day run after returning from Tel Aviv. I thought today would be an off day because of my schedule, but it worked out and I was able to get a run in. I ran hard and fast. Late in the run I felt a little worn out but still pushed myself

ok 6.5

 ON

had an ok run. at a decent pace. Felt a little winded. Amazing though. I call it a decent pace as it was slower than all my recent runs since I took out my orthotic inserts, but it was still much faster than all my runs from when I was running with my inserts.

Fabulous 17

 HOKA

had a fabulous 17km run in great weather. I ran regular routes around. Was set to finish at 15 and then decided I would run down to my daughter's house to say hi to my granddaughter, so I would finish at 16. I got there to discover she had just gone down for a nap, so i took a drink and ran home to finish at 17..

great mid-day 10km run. Weather was nice and relatively cool and cloudy as the clouds are rolling in for late season rains that are approaching. Felt great and ran fast.
