A cross training day today, 1 mile in the pool, before I switch to the "Runner's World" training program tomorrow. I really enjoyed the swim, it has been a while since I had been in the pool and I had forgotten how good it makes you feel.
I bought some new trainers today, Asics Gel Nimbus VIII's. These are the updated version of the shoes I have been training in so far. My existing shoes have done more than the recommended 500 miles so they need replacing. If the new shoes turn out to be as good as the old ones I will get a second pair so that I can alternate the shoes and have a perfectly broken in pair for the race itself.
I have studied the new training schedule closely and it seems I have been doing too much to date which probably explains why I have had a few problems lately. I am going to have to modify the schedule slightly to incorporate our trip to Colorado and switch the Monday rest day to Sunday so that I can get to see Glammy on her day off!
