Day 2

Well I woke up feeling a bit sore, but not as bad as I thought I would feel.  I guess the wife's mixture of vitamins and emergency power is working.  Now back to work and will try to keep to my schedule and workout/run during lunch.  Today is 4 miles with a tempo run.  Which means faster than I did yesterday.  That should be easier, since I ended up walking the last two miles.  I hope to keep up with the pace that I've set for myself.  I even downloaded several marathon training apps for my phone.  Don't know who well they will work, since they show different schedules than what the wife has for me.  I think I'll keep the wife's one, not only because I think it's better, but also want to keep the peace...LOL...
I was able to run the 4 miles and I did it in 45 min.  Which is about 11.25 min a mile.  Better than I expected, but not where I need to be to beat my brother's time.  But I think I over did it.  I'm sure I'll regret it tomorrow.  Glad that tomorrow is a rest day.
On a positive note, no back pain this time, so I'm guessing the new shoes are working, or it could be that I ran on a treadmill.  Either way it felt better.  I did have an issue with the bottom of my foot hurting.  Can't tell if it's just because of new shoes, or that my feet aren't used to having blood circulate through them.  Either way, I'm going to call this a win for me.
So glad that tomorrow is a rest day.
