Weekly Mileage Oct 17-23

Sun: 13.5/1:00:06/4:53/WMU Legs a bit stiff from the run yesterday, and thought I was going to have issues with blisters again in the WMUs, but it was ok. Left foot got tender again for the last 3-4K, but not bad as long as I keep the pace easy. Will do bike tomorrow to give it a break. Should be in good shape for getting in the running I want to in the US, but not sure when I'll be able to do speed work.
Mon: Bike 35.6k
Tue: 17.6/1:23:51/4:45/MWU3 Good run! Thought it would be chilly, so wore a vest at first, but took it off within about 15 min. Legs pretty loose, although could feel the muscles from the last two runs because of the time off. No pain at all in the left foot, only slightly tender for the last 1-2K when I was speeding up a bit. Timed the last 2K at 4:39/4:33.

Wed: Rest (travel to U.S.!)

Thu:13.3/57:58/4:21/Mach11 First run in the U.S., and first run in the Brooks Mach 11s, and it felt great! Nice rolling hills, beautiful foliage, and cool. The shoes are not cushioned really, but there is quite a bit between my feet and the road compared to the other shoes I have. Legs felt great running, no blisters, and no soreness today. A bit surprised at that pace, but I did feel like I was moving pretty briskly. Will run with the new Garmin next and in the Nikes.
Fri: 14.52/1:04:27/4:26/XC Zooms Another run in new sneaks. The Nikes felt good, although a little strange near the ball of my foot at the beginning. This pace is fast again, I guess because of the cushioning. I'm at a dilemma of how to record my runs now, because the garmin distance is off when compared to the same route with gmap pedometer.
Sat: 12.8/1:13:03/5:34/Mach 11 Ran out to Aggie to meet Dave and do some trail running. Was fun to run and chat at a very slow pace. Pretty rocky, but the shoes obviously protected my feet no problem.

Total Mileage: 71.7
