harsh

man we cooked up a bad ass course last night. i felt really good going into the hot laps but had no power. i'm feeling pretty sore/tired this morning so maybe i wasn't properly fueled. i don't mind being slow at practice as long as i am improving my fitness/skills - and i think that will be the case.

i didn't ride in this morning. i'm hoping to get out and run again tonight. i'm wear testing a pair of saucony shadow genesis 2's and i feel a little obliged to run at least a couple times a week. plus, i really like the shoes. after reading born to run and talking to people much more knowledgeable than i, i think the true minimalist movement (no cushioning) is really dumb not to mention dangerous. but, i do like some of the shoes that are reducing heel drop in combination with newer cushioning strategies/flexible uppers that have resulted from 'the movement'. my regular trainers i've been using were purchased during our trip to boston over two years ago so i may take a look at some new trainers in the coming months - most likely a lightweight shoe with a 4 mm heal drop (since i'm a saucony guy maybe the kinvara).

happy thursday.
