Just an Average SKIRT

…The Asics Cumulus 11 shoes are NOT FOR ME!  I wore my old Asics yesterday that have hundreds of miles on them, did my 6 mile tempo run with absolutely NO PAIN!  YES I AM SCREAMING!!!!   WTF Asics?  What did you do to my perfect running shoe and why haven’t you called me back yet?

Here’s the upside, I don’t have to wonder what the issue is, I don’t have to think that I have some terrible foot issue or defect in my body, there is no question here at all, the newest version of the Cumulus is now confirmed to be my arch nemesis.   They blow and I don’t!

So my run went well yesterday - it was a 2 miles warm up with 3 miles at my short tempo pace (9:15) and then a mile cool down.  POC.  Ready for my long run tomorrow - 15 miles in my old shoes.

Loving the new Garmin 305 although I hate that I fell into the dark hole of technology.  However I still sleep well at night knowing that I just use it for the pace and not the heartrate, or elevation, or downloadable abilities or really any of the reasons why someone would use a GPS for the workouts…so basically I just paid $150 to know how fast I’m running.  What a sucka!
