This time... it's with my shoes.
WARNING: Shoes are like dating. Everyone has a different opinion, so please don't hate me for what I have to say.
Here goes....
I HATE MY NIKES. IT'S OVER. I WANT TO DUMP THEM.
I gave them a shot...133 miles worth of a shot. I wasn't sure about them at first. Then I caved (hmm... sound familiar?). But now I really think they are reason for that weird twinge in my knees. Like a sparky twinge on the outer knee.
I realize we aren't supposed to "compare" to other shoes, but my Mizunos and Asics never made me twinge.
Back to Road Runners I go.
Here are today's vitals:
10 miles: 1:31:28 = 9:04 pace
I'm off for sister and nieces fun. Peace.

The Helmet Ten
It's kinda sketchy when you put your dorky water fanny pack on upside down - TWICE. It reminded me of the time my mom asked about my running helmet. I had a weird feeling that I might actually need a helmet today.
I woke up tight and sore from Bikram last night. But it's a good sore. You know the kind of sore that reminds you there are muscles under there somewhere. However, not so good when you have 10 miles ahead of you. But I did it. Slow as can be = 1:44, burning 1130 calories!!! It was hot a haites, but a beautiful day. Actually going to put my bikini on now and hit the beach with my new InStyle Mag! Sounds like the perfect Saturday.
And the best news of all is that after my run, I hopped on Anita. She told me 134~!~~~ Can you believe it? Of course, after I loaded up on my liquids again, I was up to 135. So that's what I'm claiming. 135. Praise sweet little baby Jesus.
Two weeks until the half marathon. I am not sure if I want to do another 10 next weekend or maybe a shorter run with some hills. I am getting nervous about a hilly race. I was thinking that Portland would be my first traveling race. But DOY - this one is. I will be staying at my grandparents house. Their house is actually ON the race course - so they can chill out on their driveway and hold a fancy banner for me. At least THEY BETTER if they know what's good for them. Anyway, I can use this half as practice for the travel/packing portion. YKWIS?
My friend sent me the rest of the Puerto Rico pics - so I will post those next...
