Did 5 "pickup" miles today. It's a new term for me, but I did my best based on the info my 30K training plan gave me. Ran a nice pace for about 2 miles, then ran hard for 100-200 Meters at a time, then walked and jogged until my HR dropped, then ran hard again. I don't have a GPS watch (yet - just ordered a Garmin 305 from Amazon) so I just ran from 1 sign on the road to another sign, but I think the distance was about right. Not sure how many pickups I did but I'd guess it was 4 or 5. Overall, a good workout. My right calf muscle has been sore lately - looking at an anatomy chart, looks like it's my inside soleus muscle. I need to find a good stretch for it. AP: 8:18, Avg HR: 153, Max HR: 176. 1 minute bicycles, 15 pushups.

Oh yeah - finally got my new shoes today. Brooks Adrenaline with "DNA". Ah - had forgotten what new shoes felt like. Nice cushioning. I think Brooks are my fav - had been using Asics just because they didn't have my size in stock last time I needed shoes, but I like Brooks a bit better.

Try runningwearhouse for your future shoe purposes. If you know what you like, their prices are usually low.
