Ain't nobody gonna breaka my stride

This one will be short and sweet, like me.

I had to train at the Y due to the damp weather today. I really, really do not like using the treadmill so I headed up to the track. Luckily there was a sign posted at the beginning of the track that said "21.5 laps equals 1 mile" - you KNOW you are close to the border when something is measured in miles!!! Anyway, it was a good way to check my pace. I managed to finish the first mile in 16 minutes - thank goodness, there is hope. However, there is NO WAY I could maintain that pace for more than that first mile! In fact, I stopped counting laps after that first mile too, because the counting was really aggravating. I have no idea how far I went. I did notice that today's workout was soooo much easier than a couple of months ago when I tried the track there (and I did a lot more running today - not a lot of running, but more than the last time I was there). I also noticed that it is very hard for me to step heel to toe on my left foot when I run AND I need new shoes. Those shoes did not last very long but I guess with the massive force coming down on them, I can't blame the poor dears.
