PM: 20 miles on the treadmill in 2:34.

Slow to easy mostly. Tried to really pick the pace up after the 2-hour mark but it wasn't happening. I mixed some Gatorade and water in one bottle and a had just water in another. Not use to taking fluids in during a run, but when they are right there why not?

Wore a new pair of shoes, which I know goes against typical advice but I can usually run in any shoe without any issues. Adidas Adizero Boston Boost 6. I like them a lot so far.

Still trying to decide on racing this spring. I think two half marathons is probably plenty and likely all I can do with work. Likely I will use this as a way to get fitness back, go through summer, and prep to run Detroit in the fall for a marathon PR. That's my short long-term plan for now. I think.

Trying to catch up on blogs. I read through allie's entries for a last several weeks and will work my way down the list of favorite blogs from there.

I never have any problems wearing shoes right out of the box for anything.

Couldn't be worse than running in the pair with almost 700 miles and 550 miles that I've been running in.
