Notes
10 easy (first 2 w/E) + 6 hill sprints. First run with the new saucony trail shoes. I ran off the pavement as often as possible - on gravel, grass, mud, all with 1-3 inches of snow on it, plus puddles of water and slush because it's above freezing. It was a blast and the shoes felt great! My left foot has been aching the past couple days, and it was doing it again during the first two miles. But I then loosened that shoe and it went away. My knees are a bit sore now, and of course my legs (mostly lower front quads) are sore from yesterday's race. But it's all in good fun. Now I know that I can go on a long, easy run with pleasure the day after a short race. Running offroad was nice because the pressures were now exactly the same as yesterday.
