PM - moderate aerobic effort of 8 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime.  Bought a pair of Saucony Triumphs over the weekend.  (Jake K may be happy to hear.)   First time in that brand.  Liked the wider toebox and light weight.

AM - 12 miles easy very early in the morning before business meetings in Atlanta.  I had three separate guys passed me on Mount Vernon Rd. running extremely quickly.  Made me feel slow! Anyway after a mile or two I saw them jogging back together.  Must have been doing a workout.

AM - 4 creaky miles this morning.  I think the new Saucony shoes seem to have resulted in some issue with the sides of my big toes - more so on the left than the right.  It has gotten increasingly worse each day.  Not sure if it a bruise, or a blister under a callous - but it took a good half mile before it loosened up.  Wore the Asics this morning instead.  Also accidentally banged one of my other toes on a chair in the hotel last night.  Painful.

AM - a little over 4 miles this morning before work.  Work and travel late yesterday prevented a planned second run - but probably good to let my toes recover a little more.  Did a little "home surgery" to the callouses and missing or mangled toe nails last night- trying to drain any blisters that may be causing the pressure/pain.  I think just switching back to the normal Asics and having more recovery time helped more than anything.  Will try to get a second run in later today.   

 

PM - 10 miles at a late lunch.  1.5 mile warm up - then 7 miles at marathon pace - 1.5 mile cool down - on the treadmill.  Felt reasonably solid.  No toe problems either.
