Notes
I got out early today, so I was thrilled to be able to get a run in during the daylight. I turned it into an 8-miler instead of 6, and it ended up being harder than I planned. I started off easy, but I felt really good so I pushed it. Not hard, but it was definitely a decently steady pace. First two miles were probably about 7:55 average, next 3-4 were about 7:30s, and then the last two miles dropped gradually the whole time, until I was running about 5k pace for the last 3/4 of a mile. It was a fun run, and quite warm despite the lack of sun.
The Wave Riders may not be as excellent as I had thought. Toward the middle of the run I started to get a strange feeling of exertion on the medial part of my right leg, as though I was flexing it a lot more than normal. As strange as it sounds, the Riders may be causing me to pronate excessively in the right leg. I'm going to have to watch it closely. I'm also having pain in my arches, probably from wearing the Frees for a few long work days in a row. Definitely taking some time off from those, hopefully the pain goes away.
