Another break and back.

I ran today after another break, this one two weeks long. The first week I had lots of music to play and last week I was in Winslow and for some reason I didn’t run there at all despite bringing shoes and gear. I did a newish route for six miles at 10:30 pace, slow and easy. Not only was this my first run back from break, but it was my first rainy run too. The Altra shoes did really well, no slipping. I am glad I tried the zero-drop shoes, I like them. And they have a lot of room in the toe box for my feet. My gate seems to have changed a bit, landing more toward the toe. But I am still shooting for a mid-strike.

My new route took me south on my usual run through Woodstock and East Moreland. Then I continues past the golf course and came up the windy and hilly Bybee. The through reed and home. I did a lot of stretching last night and I think that helped to make this run more enjoyable. Even the rain was nice, steady but lite. I was going to rake leaves after finishing, but a warm shower won out. Tomorrow I am hoping to get a short one in.
