This week I decided to kick up my early marathon training a bit and start running three times a week consistently. On Monday I ran four miles outside; on Tuesday I hit the Stairmaster; yesterday I ran four miles on the treadmill; and this morning I planned to run five miles outside. Unfortunately after getting a bit later of a start than I would have liked I ended up doing my five mile run on the treadmill. It actually worked out fine, as when I stepped outside to head to the gym the temperature was a bit chillier than I expected. When is Spring going to get here already?
One other thing: I bought new running shoes (see above). I have worn the Saucony Omni line for the past several years, but was convinced to try another Saucony model at a running store in Manhattan. Within just a few months that pair was falling apart, which was shocking given the fact I have had previous Sauconys last for years, combined with the fact I spent a pretty penny on them. I think I just plain got hoodwinked. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it--I am sticking with Saucony Omnis from here on out.
