Philly Week 4 & 5

Well, I've been absolutely battling this sinus thing, and I swear I could use that toilet paper invention.

To the passing biker on the sidewalk the other day who I almost spit on: Next time, can you yell something like "on your left" when you are passing me at 20 mph, so I don't end up sending a lunger on you? You missed my projectile by about 1/2 second.

So, I got 36 miles in last week, it was my cut-back week and this week looks something like this:

Mon: 9.34
Tues: O
Wed: 9.9
Thur: 4
Fri: 21 (yep blackjack tomorrow) 3.5 hours (3.5 hours Uh huh)
Sat: 5
Sun: 8-10

I haven't quite done the math and I mostly run by time anyway. Sometimes I just say to myself, "okay self, just run 10 more minutes and then head back" so my mileage kind of varies.

I got some new shoes! Dicks had my Cumulus 10's for $60 and then DSW had these lightweight shoes Brooks Ghost (I've never run in Brooks before) for $55. I am going to try them out today....



"You don’t have to be fast to feel fast in the Ghost. With an enhanced midfoot wrap for runners who like a secure feel around the arch, and an increase in the amount of forefoot cushioning and under-foot support, the new Ghost, with its eco-friendlier BioMoGo midsole, lets you run as fast as your feet want to go. Like, as fast as if you'd seen a ghost—or two." Skeery Fast - Must wear these on Halloween.
