AM run - 41, easy

New shoes arrived while I was at work. I planned on running a short PM run anyway (4.5), so why not break them in. 7:51, 6:51, 6:41, 6:31 (.5).  Wow am I out of shape when it comes to speed. I wasn't running all out, but I figured I'd push some. I am going to have to get 100% and really put some effort into this late spring.

Those splits look pretty good to me. I love running in new shoes, especially new Asics.

Thanks trap, recovery can be discouraging, patience.

Those are better than you think. Plus you got a nice workout.

Recovery can seem like eternity, but patience is the KEY, with it you'll make it the long haul in life. Without patience you'll be on your way to the masses of frustrated runners who gave it up.

Pretty solid, given it was a double. You're getting closer, hopefully not a whole lot longer!

Ham - thanks, but I want more patience now! :)

Joe- I am with you!
