I’m the proud owner of a new pair of shoes. I had luck with the Cascadia’s and decided to try another pair. Fleet Feet only carries this model in mashed-snowpea-baby-shit-green. Andrea frequently reminds me I don't have any style, so shoe color shouldn't matter to me. I took a picture of the shoes before the run and then again after the inaugural trail run. They feel much like the original Cascadia’s, yet they seem stiffer.
Andrea and I ran local trails tonight. Most of our mileage was in the dark. We were both listening to our iPod and didn’t talk much. The lack of dialog didn’t stop me from enjoying her company. Near the end of the run I stepped in a small hole and tweaked my left ankle. Who would of thought I could possibly twist my ankle while running in the dark without a light?!?! It hurt like hell at the time, but it is better now. I wish I could say the same about my right knee, which bothered me during the run. I’m going to force myself to stay on the trails this week.
My current training schedule is subdivided into four-week blocks. Next week is a recovery week. With a little luck, running trails and lower mileage will prepare my knee for the next increase in mileage.
