2 miles, 19minutes 6pm
Snuck in a quick 2 mile trail run around Jensen lake at Lebanon Hills Park near Rosemount on the way home.
*Remember that note yesterday about spending too much on running gear? Tuesday night I bought the New Balance MT1010 minimalists size 12.5, upgrades form the MT110 designed by Anton Krupicka, one the worlds best ultra trail runners. $100 seemed a good price for a new model, the design made logical sense and the forefoot has a ton of room for my wide step. Anyhoo, I've tried out 4 other pairs that weren't wide enough for my foot and didn't have a minimalist design but thanks to REI, (and one pair I wore around the house for day from a privately owned running store), their outstanding return policy allowed me to put a few miles on them and not worry about any grief over some mud on the sole.*
After the 5 miles in the morning I felt tired but trail runs are so much fun with the changing terrain and it follows the lake closely for nice scenery. It wasn't any kind of ache or something I couldn't overcome, just fatigue from this morning which I am sure will subside as my endurance builds.
Only two days until the long run!
