Today

Ran for 33 minutes.  I've finished 2 weeks now on asphalt and will bump it up to 4-5 miles starting tomorrow (Saturday). It's sort of frustrating since I want to run for an hour, but I know that my knees will blow out if I screw this up.

 

I help out at Below The Knee on the weekends - it's a family business - and usually sell a lot of running shoes. The way I sell running shoes is to look at the old pair of shoes for tread wear, talk to the person about their running style, mileage, heel strike and so forth, and then ask them what they are interested in. You'd be amazed at how many people are running in the wrong shoes.

I also came across a post at TriFuel.com which mentioned Below The Knee. I'm not sure if I was the salesperson or not, but it's a good story. The link is noted below.

Swam 20 laps this morning, did not run :-(

Also, i looked at the weather for Columbus & damn if it's not 10 days' straight of rain. Guess I'll be running in the morning - running in the afternoon means electrical storms.
