Training Log Archive: Bags

So far the Hoka black/red's are not impressing me. They are nice shoes but feel soft and stiff and clunky at the same time...I will not be surprised if I eventually like them tho...my stride is better...but I am not realizing how far out of shape I am. I was in good enough shape to bluff my way through the times I was doing...but increasing miles or trying to run faster for any distance is proving to be more of a challenge than I expected. All I can do is keep going forward.

I need the strength that longer runs give you.

It was a little windy, a little humid, a little warm and I was kinda pooped when I started...that was too much to overcome. I actually thought I was going to have about a 10 min pace run but I never ever got going...which could be taken as a good sign...my legs and feel were dead and I was running on sheer willpower...
