Bouncy new trainers

12M - double; recovery runs x2
6M am at ~6.30min/M with pack
6M pm at ~6.30min/M with pack

Just a couple of gentle recovery runs today. Aided by my shiny new trainers. My legs didn't feel bouncy this morning, but my trainers were super-boingy. Amazing how different to my 500 mile old ones that I added to the pile of dead ones yesterday.

My morning run turned out pretty good once I got going - my legs are seldom as tired as they feel before I start. And my run home felt really good and free. The hip is A-OK.

I'll be ready for a bit of speed tomorrow evening - though still not on the track I think, just mile reps like last week. The aim (after another good chat with Ron last night) is to keep nursing the hip while nudging up the mileage. I'm going to try and race every other week or so and get some speed from that, but will also inject perhaps one proper shorter speed session before too long.
