So frustrating! As you know, I just went through that too. <br /><br />I like doing progressive runs and fast finish runs. They make me feel strong and kind of bad @ss. :) <br /><br />Great job on your long run! I love getting out there super early to beat the heat. Plus you still have so much of the day left when you get done. And I like the feeling of being out in the quiet morning when most others are still sleeping. Such a great feeling to have that final long run in the books, too!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484494180842875733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-59313415643110195552015-09-24T08:34:42.260-05:002015-09-24T08:34:42.260-05:00It's a huge pet peeve of mine because I've...It's a huge pet peeve of mine because I've run in the wrong shoe before with almost catastrophic consequences.

Shocked, actually. Bama needs to get behind their quarterback, whoever it's going to be, and stop messing around. I wish I could have seen the whole game but I knew it would be so late finishing! There's nothing quite like SEC football. I do enjoy reading everyone's post too. It's like following family. :) And the more the merrier.

Oh, in full disclosure...that watch was stopped every time I made a pit stop. If I don't stop it, then I have no idea what my pace is. And I had to keep that under control! I forgot to say that I ran this entire run in my HR target zone too. I was really proud of that. I can't find my old shoes any more in my size. I think I went through 4 pairs of that model!HoHo Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986964581984440945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-88383568236080686092015-09-22T18:48:15.371-05:002015-09-22T18:48:15.371-05:00Thank you Emily.
