Nice bullets. Nice reminder about changing shoes. (For some reason I never realize just how bad my old pair have gotten until I put the new ones on.)

I completely agree about pushing through bad runs being the best prep for a race.

And as Dane Cook would say..."You Did Your Best" ;)

I agree, too, about bad runs teaching us to appreciate the good ones more and makes us a littel tougher (I blogged about that, too, yesterday. Great minds must think alike, eh??). When I was reading your blog about the shin splints I was screaming, "get new shoes!!!!" and there you went and did it :). I know that really helps, not always but a lot of times. I'm taking a forced recovery week this week cuz I'm just really sinused congested and headached up today. It feels like I'm cheating or something, so I feel your pain last week! btw, that beard video was hilarious!! Have a great week!

I feel your pain on the tempo...mine sucked like a shopvac last week. I'm sure it was because I balls-out raced that 10k instead of doing 7 easy miles like I was supposed to, but it's not like you get to run underground every day.

And I totally agree on the jay walking. Car-dodging is the best motivation you can get when you don't want to do speed work.

Way to work through it. Watch those small pains though...

When I am running in and around the city and get stuck at lights I just make the turn down the sidewalk to continue on. This works well to see more of an area... unless it looks to be an area you don't want to see;)

A bed week means a good week is waiting for you.

I'm convinced that there's no problem a pair of new Adrenalines can't cure. Maybe we should send a pair to Obama and the country would be magically healed too. Magical, I say.

Hey Adam, good to hear you pushed your way thru the bad week. How many miles on the old shoes? Just curious. i have a little over 200 on both my pairs now, but they still seem ok. I blew off my long run today because I ran the 5 mile race this morning. Not sure if that was a good idea or not but what the heck. I've got a 6 mile on Tuesday, 8 on Wednesday, and 6 again on Thursday. Any chance of running together this coming weekend? Be good.

Hi Adam,
If it makes you feel better I have challenging weeks of running too!! Take care of your shin splints...hopefully the new shoes will be helpful:) Hang in there and keep your chin up!!

I agree- those banked bad runs do help me during tough future runs. Sorry to hear that your week of running was icky- but so happy that Sunday shows promise of normal running. Yay!
