I'll get back to some serious training next week to get prepared for the race at the end of April. For yesterday's run I just wanted to get back out to check in with my body and make sure everything was feeling good. I ended up doing just a few laps around the stadium at work to get an easy 3 miles in and get a little vitamin D in the process. I did realize my current shoes have just about had it, so time to break out the pair in reserve when I get out this weekend. I've been running in the same style of Merrells for about 4-5 years I think.
For this stage in my life, I really enjoy the minimal style shoes--even for longer distance. There may come a time when I need a little bit more support, but for now I am very happy with these. Although I am not so sure Merrell is continuing with this exact style. At least I'll get through this next portion of my training and half marathon before I have to figure out if I need to try a different style or brand. Check out the weekly post by @mad-runner for @runningproject if you want some more tips on running shoes!
I will definitely get out again this weekend, but I'll go ahead and count this run for @jumowa's weekly #runforsteem challenge. Check out the latest challenge update here. Seriously, come join us. Nobody cares how fast you go or what your stats look like. You know you want to. ;)
I hope everyone gets some nice running weather where you are! Have a great weekend!
