Week in review.

I got in 40 miles running this week with some speed work which I'm trying to get back since I'll be doing a half marathon on Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately I got a light strain in my left calf on Thursday morning doing my tempo run.  It didn't stop my from running easy on Friday and and then on trails on Saturday.  I just need to be careful this upcomming week with faster running.  I also swam twice and cycled twice.  I feel like I'm quickly getting stronger at both and my overall cardiovascular ability feels stronger. I've enjoyed riding on Saturday mornings with the group.  I feel like I ride a lot harder with them than I do on my own.  I also got in 2 days of lower body work and core work last week. 

I'm going to try and do about the same this upcomming week but cut back a little on the faster running.

I received some new Adizero Pro shoes in the mail today. They have a carbon fiber plate in them. I'm excited to test them out tomorrow with some fast running.

I woke up excited to try out my new carbon fiber plate shoes.  I've never run in shoes with a carbon fiber plate before and wasn't exactly sure what to expect.  To my surprise, they didn't feel that much different than other shoes, maybe just a little more spring at toe off.  They had plenty of cushion and didn't feel stiff like I thought they would.  These seemed to be a little too snug around my midfoot, but probably something I can adjust with the lacing a bit and get used too.  

I did ten miles total.  The first 5 were at a comfortable but not slow pace then I ran back at a tempo effort and didn the last 5 in 33:46 which isn't way fast but it is better than I have run lately.
