Last Night's Run

Last night's run went swimmingly.  The new running shoes that I bought 30% off made a huge difference: all my times dropped.

.5 mile: 3:30
1 mile: 8:30 (I sandbagged the second half mile)
1.5 miles: 13:15 
2 miles: 18:30

My goal was to run 2 miles in 18 minutes, but because of my fast time for the half mile, I eased off to a jogging pace, and was still able to coast to an easy 9:15 per mile pace. On top of that, the front of my calves weren't aching, it didn't feel like my legs were going to snap in half, and I'm not nearly as sore the day after. It's crazy how much difference the shoes and insoles made.

Failed Run

I ran 1.25 miles today on the track. I really need new running shoes; I wasn't able to continue since the muscles around my legs kept cramping up. I'm starting to think my right foot is rolling inward slightly which explains all these problems I'm having. Tomorrow I'm going to Dick's and getting shoes that are meant for running and have adequate cushion and support. I feel cheated since I paid through the nose for the crappy shoes that I have now.

Ok, I figured out what the problem is with my shoes. They're New Balance 800's which are exclusively for trail . It's either time to figure out where trails are around my home, or to get some shoes meant for running on pavement.
