I got a call from a running guy, that has been recovering from an injury. He asked if I would run a bit with him, so we met at Peak Performance Running Store, and ran for three miles together. We stood in the rain for at least two minutes for my garnin to find itself, but finally I just said let's go. By his garmin, we averaged about 9:30 for the three miles. Then I ran another 5, but in my haste to get running I started my garmin without resetting it Duh!! so I added 1/2 a mile onto yesterdays run before I looked down and really understood what was going on. I don' t know the overall time and laps. But I'm sure it was much slower then yesterday, my legs were a bit heavy tonight.

Laps of the last 4.5 miles: 9:17, 9:39, 9:15, 9:03, 9:14

** side not, I needed to get new shoes. I had been running in Pearl Isumi, but I can only get about 200 miles on them before they have some fatal flaw that makes it so I can' run in them with out getting major blisters. So as much as my shins were happy with the Pearl Isumi my pocket book was not. I got some Asics, so here's to hoping my shins will love them.

Good job getting out in the rain and running.

I like to put different insoles into my shoes after a while and find that makes a difference on my legs and feet. Have you tried that?

Nice run. I hate that when I have "equipment" problem.

I hear ya on the shoes. Getting the right shoes and fit is such an "investment". Hope your shins love the new Asics.

I have insoles that the doc made for me and I really like them for the most part. The problem with the Pearl Isumi shoes is that they just would wear out, holes in them, soles got holes, etc. before you had many miles on them.

Good luck with your new shoes!

I find that every time I make a stupid mistake with my Garmin, we (Garmin and I) end up closer than ever when it's all sorted out. Like JD said, love it so much I want to have it surgically attached... :)

I've also had times when I've forgot to reset my Garmin, or forgotten to start it or stop it. I'm so married to the data, that it is always frustrating when I do that. But then I remind myself that my body got the benefit from the run no matter what the Garmin says.

Good luck with the shoes. I've struggled with shoes and blisters myself.
