The training plan said this was my "easy" week, but I guess that's my effort, not my distance today. It said to run 7 miles. Since the loop I run is 4 miles, I just made it 8 miles. Drove to Raleigh to go to fleet feet!!! Yeah!!! And super bonus, the Whole Foods store right next door :-) They only had one pair of my shoes in stock, so I grabbed them and some new gloves that actually warm up when they get moist. Since I sweat so much, it'll be fun to get warm fingers in the middle of my cold morning runs. I've never paid $20 for gloves before, but if they do what they promise, then it will be worth every penny. We got three delicious new types of cheese to try. That's our indulgence from Whole Foods. I had to laugh when the girl at the cheese counter told us about her "gateway cheese" that she had that led her into the yummy world of loving cheese. We went to eat at a little joint called Chubby's Taco's. I had a tilapia taco. It was delicious. The highlight of the meal was the dulche de leche quesedilla(?sp?) we had for dessert. Yowzers, that stuff is sticky sweet. I'm feeling a little twinge in my groin and knee. I'm hoping the new shoes will help. I know I need to work on that physical therapy/strengthening stuff more too. I've slacked off so much since the marathon.
