running this week

Mon- 1:09, river loop. Took slight (shortened) digress to town to see mechanic to set appt. Perfect weather. VivoBarefoot shoes (Aqua Lite).

Tue- :52, forest service road loop. Couldn't run all hills on backside. Unusually hot for mid Oct- 85. VivoBarefoot Neo Trails. 

Wed- :28, farmer's property run loop. Just a shakeout run . Vivo Neo Trails.

Thu- 1:02, power line trail loop. Perfect weather, saw a lot of deer.

Fri- 1:25, peninsula point, out and back. Perfect weather. Didn't make it all the way, probably 1-1.5 mi short, ran out of time. 

4 hr 56 min total

My main goal this week was to try and start to decide on a shoe. The Agua Lites are fine on smooth dirt or pavement but ANY pebble, rock, etc makes it miserable. The Neo Trails are good on both pavement and dirt- altogether a better shoe IMO.

I also wanted to establish some routes I can run frequently. That will be a work in progress of course, that will most likely result in the combining of some routes in the future.

Other than that, just wanted to try and get into a routine again.

I didnt realize how easy you could creep up on deer till i started trail running.
