Today the temperature was 80 degrees. I could be wrong, but at one time in my past I could swear that we had a season called spring. In this magical season, temperatures were mild, but not really either cold or hot. This season actually lasted more than three days; in fact, it lasted for a couple of months! But somewhere along the way it was shortened almost to the point of extinction. Today spring is an extremely short period of time between daytime temperatures in the low forties and a sudden switch to days of intense sunshine and hot, sweaty weather. How I miss that season called spring!
Nevertheless, I ran 6 miles and included 2-3-4-3-2 fartleks. It was very breezy from the southwest, which was fun. Or not. But I'm excited because I bought some new Asics Gel Nimbus shoes on sale yesterday. If I had the money I would have bought several pairs at the sale price. I've worn nothing but Gel Cumulus the past several years, and this represents an upgrade. According to the shoe descriptions they should work just fine. I'm intrigued by the lacing on the shoe, which follows the contour of the feet rather than going straight down the middle. I plan on wearing them to walk in when I can and then take them out for a run whenever I have an easy recovery run planned. Next week is busy with kids' sports, so I don't know when that will be yet.
