The Inspires Have It

Distance: 3 mi. (run; treadmill)

Tonight at the gym was just blah. I ran with shin splints and aching calves (probably due to the long distance thursday and rest day yesterday) and pained feet (I think due to my shoes). So, I've been alternating using my Mizuno Wave Inspires and Saucony Hurricanes on runs. The Hurricanes are a bit big, I know, but I figured they can still function for shorter distances. I think I was wrong. After running for a longer time on Thursday in my Mizunos, I realized that they make me feel as if they're not even there. They're just lighter and I feel like they let my feet do more of the work and not get too "lazy". Maybe that's all in my head, but either way I'm sticking with the Inspires from now on.

I did some free weights before leaving the gym in a blah mood. Just not a great workout. Not bad, but not great. Maybe it's because all of my other runs haven't been after a full day of work. Hm...
