1 hr strength session.
April 5, Friday:
4.0 progression run in 32:33, 8:08 ave. Started off expecting to go for 7, but someone came in when I was @ mile 3 to use the treadmill, so I kept it short and made it fast to go as quickly as I could to get in max distance in the last mile. Splits> 8:32, 8:29, 8:26, 7:04.
April 6, Saturday:
11.1 in the grass. Blister. I had purchased the New Balance 858s because they were on sale, but they're pretty rigid, so I only use them for my runs on grass at the park. I've never gone this far in them, so I got a big blister that made it difficult to even walk for a couple of days. I made the mistake of cutting off the top layer of the blister skin... should've just drained the blister and left everything else as-is. Lesson learned.
(Just what you wanted to see, huh?)

6.0 on the grass in 51:22, 8:30 average, in my new Salomon Mission shoes. Super cushiony... maybe even too much. Decent shoes, though. The special laces migh've loosened a bit during the run, and I got a small blister. We'll see how things go in future runs.
