After getting hyped up watching the Olympics last night (Lindsay Vonn's Gold etc...) I tossed and turned all night in and out of imaginary Olympic moments for myself  (jk).  But I do imagine myself flying thru the Giant Slalom course and Sprinting on the X-Country ski course.    The Five Circles zipping my zap again until the wee hours of the morning as I take off on a run with Kim in the rainfall that turned to snow as I stepped outside at 5:45am.  Lovely.  Hey, the Olympics postpone their runs in this weather, what are we doing?  Well, been thru worse, most of us, at SGM 2008 so why the whining?  After dodging tons of puddles along the entire course, Disneyland revisited, we managed a fairly good pace of  8:05 for 10.13 miles.  Wow, to be done so early, now what to do?  BTW sneakers felt pretty good, too bad new shoes had to be run in the rain/snow.  After stretching I decided to try my old shoes on.  I didn't realize how much of a heel cushion and lift they had.  Quite a different feel.  Like the flat feel better.  Let's hope I can gain some better biomechanics from this.

Good early morning run, so glad the shoes feel better. I guess these will make you less of a heel-striker and more of a forefoot striker? cool--then you will have that effortless, elite running form! :) Men's figure skating is on tonight!

AWESOME early 10 miler. Glad the new flat shoes feel better.

Can you believe what a day Team USA had yesterday? It's the most gold medals won in one day in Winter Olympic history. Lindsay Vonn got me all teary eyed and Shaun White had me and my boys jumping up and down and high fiving. There were too many bad fall/crashes on the downhill course though, just to make that event more heart-stopping! :)

I traded them in for better ones. The difference so nice!! I think I will watch the TIVOed Olympics all day. I also think I will turn my run into some crosstraining again tomorrow. This cutback week is helping.

Smooth I guess we posted at the same time. I will go check your blog. Yah I didn't know about Shaun White's gold although I expected it. I said to Kim on our run how I was worried for him since some of the competition were gaining on him but with all his private half pike training (did you see his documentary?) he was sure to be on top. She said "wait a minute, he won gold you know?" "Oh thanks Kim" And really I was thankful as now I don't have to be at the edge of my seat zipping my zap in excitement. Can't wait for Apollo's race Saturday. Go USA!!
