Had a good run today in the evening as it was starting to get dark. Managed 3.8 miles before my hip started to tighten up slightly. Decided not to push it since I have only been getting 2 miles per day of late.
Average pace: 9:05, not too shabby. I felt good. I took the insoles out of my Gel Kayanos and ran without them. I found it easier to land on my forefoot. I was impressed with the quality of the "stock" insoles, but these shoes have a much more elevated heel than I want, so they had to go. I'm running in a 5K next week, so I just want to stay healthy and try to regain some consistency before then. I haven't run a 5K in at least a year where I actually card about clocking a good time, so as long as I don't hurt myself or something I'm pretty much guaranteed to PR in my next race as long as I run it in something under 30 minutes -- ha!
