Track Night 

I was trying out my new Brooks PureConnect that I picked up in Flagstaff over the weekend.  They only have a 4 mm heal lift so when standing still in them you almost feel like your heals are lower than your toes, but once I get running in them with my natural fore to mid foot strike they feel amazing with nice cushion and spring off the fore foot. I really liked them and seemed to run easily but at a fast pace with them.

Jim and a few others were there tonight to do 3 x 1 mile with 800 m recovery jogs. After a 2 mile warm up we got started and ran:  5:51, 5:51, 5:48.  I dropped Jim on the last 2, but not by too much.  I never felt like I was pushing all out, so I was very happy with the workout.  We then cooled down for a mile for a total of 7 miles.

Brooks PureConnect Miles: 7.00

Good to see your out running.....what are your running plans for 2012? Whats your next race? Have you healed up any and all nagging injuries.

Sounds like a great workout. Cool shoes too.

Slick, I don't have any injuries right now that bother me while running. My tibia is still tender to the touch almost 2 years later where I had my stress fracture though.

I'll be doing an olympic triathlon in march, a half marathon in April (both in Havasu), and then UVM in June. That is the extent of my plans for the year. Thanks for asking. I'm glad to see your body is holding up to all these marathons,

Excellent splits Rhetty boy. I mean, Bishop.
