Ran with Jody and Julie, and did our 10 miler. We were going to do 3 miles at 9 minutes, then 3 at 8.5, then 3 at marathon pace, but my legs were so heavy, and my calves were so tight! I am starting to suspect my New Balance shoes, since yesterday I felt fine in my Sauconys.  I am worried that my legs still feel heavy, shouldn't they be starting to feel better yet, with my cutting miles? Maybe they still need the taper this next week.

It was fun running with you today. My legs felt better today than they have in a long time. I'm sure yours will soon.

My legs were a little weird today too. Maybe it is just from the tempos yesterday. We've still got a week to feel great so no worries:)

I am not a doctor, I just play one on the blog. It could be the shoes, cause they are new, and in most cases motion control shoes are generally heavier. It just might take some additional time to break them in.

Also, It might be a good idea to rotate your shoes for each run and see if there is a pattern to how your feet feel and if a particular show is at fault. I know sometimes it takes time to find a shoe that feels right.

Last, sometimes resting is the only thing that will make a foot problem better.

I hope you are doing okay and ready for Saturday!
