Back on the path

Day 1. Great run with good energy and stamina. Only ran around 4 miles because my Nike+ was acting up and I didn't feel like guessing 5 miles' distance. Given my lack of any exercise recently, I think today was a good enough start.

Also finally invested in a new pair of shoes tonight after realizing I've run a half and full marathon in the current ones. They've done good work and deserve a rest. Fun PD (Plan Madness) Fact: You can buy a new pair of shoes this close to the race as long as they are either the same or similar model to the current shoe (presuming the previous pair worked for you).

After trying on a New Balance, Saucony and an Asic, I went with my current shoe: the Nike Vomero. Painfully pricey (as is the case with any distance shoe) but worth every dollar in injury prevention.

Tomorrow: tackling 5-6 miles. Let's hope that my Nike+ decides to work and that my motivation continues to improve.
