Well, new shoes and a new, lighter, reflective running top so was feeling psyched. But I was barely in the cemetery next to USU when I slipped on some ice - thought the knee was shot again like last year at about this time. So tried to warm it up and massage it and finally it felt OK. Then 1.5 miles in some idiot in a big Chevy Suburban makes a really fast left turn behind me while I was still in the junction - probably the reflective top draw him in like a moth. It scared the daylights out of me - from then on couldn't concentrate on the Spanish radio podcast I was trying to listen to. Put in 2 sub-9 min miles and called it a day at 5. The New Balance 817s aren't exactly the most stylish but they are really comfortable. |
