New Shoes - Asics Nimbus - 9

I purchased a new pair of shoes after a detailed gait analyses at the local shoe store. The shoe I chose was pretty much what I thought I should be running in. The Nimbus 9 Asics top of the line cushioned running shoe.

Originally I went back to New Balance and purchased a pair of 1061 new balances top of the line shoe. I wasn't impressed after 8 miles of running on them I took them back.

Besides the red firey new shoes look a lot cooler.

104 Miles Ran In May

I have hit my miles goal for the month of May (100) with a whole 4 miles to spare. I ended up running a lot of "junk" miles as it turns out. In fact I may have ran a to much as I was feeling really tired and fatigued the last part of the month. No worries though as I have cut back to 20 miles a week and have sprang back real strong in fact I feel better then ever.

My weight is down to a new low as well 164.4 lbs. Only 8 more to go and I will be happy with my weight...yee haw!!

I have began my new training program this week as stated I'm following the "red" plane in the book "Jack Daniel's Running Formula" (no not the booze..although an occasional shot would be nice). I'm giving myself an optional day on Wednesday depending on feel as I'm trying to give myself plenty of time to absorb workouts (and strength training).
