I ran with my younger brother and my dad.  It was great to get them out to go on a run, especially since my dad had a toe problem come up a couple days ago that was trying to stop him.  We all got out in what was around 80-degree heat with close to 80% humidity.  Pace was <em>not<\/em> the interest here since I resolved to run with them.<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/36570847'><\/iframe><br \/>\nBefore the run, my dad and brother responded to my question of at what pace should we run, with &#8220;a 10-minute mile.&#8221;  So I set Garmin&#8217;s Virtual Partner to that but I couldn&#8217;t really imagine going that slowly.<\/p>\n<p>We started off with a very steep hill, and since I ate cookies for breakfast, well, I thought I was going to &#8220;toss my cookies.&#8221;  My stomach survived the initial assault.  We stayed together for a while with my dad lingering a bit.  With the aid of Garmin, I called out the 1st mile, then the 1.5-mile mark.  At the 1.5-mile mark, my dad decided to jog back.  My brother and I jogged out to the 2-mile mark and jogged back.  Coming back, I had not realized how <em>long<\/em> of a hill we had descended!  We hovered close to a 10-minute pace climbing back up that hill.  For me, I was just trying to stay with my brother but I wanted to go faster.  I had the energy for it!<\/p>\n<p>Once we hit my brother&#8217;s subdivision, I decided I&#8217;d lose him and go my own pace home.  I picked it up a bit.  Of course, I hit that steep initial hill again, but this time going down.  WHOA!  What added to the &#8220;WHOA!&#8221; was that there was an open manhole cover in the middle of the downhill.  Um&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I ran today in new shoes.  Because my Mizuno Wave Precision 10 pair was feeling small on my feet at size 10, I asked my brother to see if he could get me a pair of Precisions in size 10.5 to compare.  Immediately they felt better.  But he didn&#8217;t give me the Wave Precision 10; instead he gave me the Wave Precision 11, which isn&#8217;t even out yet!!  They come out in maybe a month.  This feels cool!  I have a race next weekend and I&#8217;ll hopefully get to wear these shoes as I&#8217;m in the first corral.  I wonder if anyone will wonder &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As for pain, my thematic medial lower right leg issue is still there a little bit.  I didn&#8217;t stretch much before or after this run (my brother and dad were eager to just start), and I could tell that despite feeling really normal the rest of yesterday after my 12.31-miler, I lacked strength today when I woke.  Weird how things change around like that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s run was in the morning heat of Alpharetta, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta.
