Notes

Worked late today because the Zund tech was here installing a new belt in the Jump room. Kept the momentum going and got out for a run about a half hour after getting home, which felt pretty quick considering I did all the PT stuff.

The run didn't feel great at first but I kept it really easy and felt decent enough. After about a mile on the turf I decided to try strides because I had been meaning to and wanted to know how they'd feel before going to PT tomorrow. Surprisingly they felt REALLY good and without pushing too hard I felt pretty fast. I think my achilles somehow felt better doing strides than it did most of this run. Huge win, going to try a handful more in a couple days.

Got home and learned that Houlihan tested positive and got a 4 year ban, so came down from that high pretty quickly. Huge loss for US running and I hope it gets overturned.

Retiring these shoes today. Probably not going to get another pair of Ghosts, I liked them early on but for some reason they don't seem to age well for me. Despite the wide forefoot they feel narrow through the midfoot and heel to me.
