Had a great morning run today breaking in my new Brooks Ghost 14s. Yes, 14s. I have no problem snagging a great deal on last year‘s model as closeout prices are way more affordable than the new releases! Combining a sale and my rewards points at Dick’s Sporting Goods, I was able to get this pair for $55 delivered to my front door 👏🏼
I’m not usually one for pastels, but if the price is right … and ironically I scored a sweet deal on these Tres Pinas shorts as well. Another clearance find! I realized a mile into this run that not only do my shoes and shorts have a theme but I also match the spring season too 😂
All in all today’s run was just perfect! I’m training myself not to carry water for shorter distances, and I felt just fine. Ended up with 3.12 miles in 31 minutes. Had to reign in the pace since today was prescribed as “easy Z2”, but there were times I wanted to push faster and harder. But one thing I’m learning is that not all runs need to be fast. You really can run slow, to in turn, run fast!
Determined to Tri AND Run 
I am alllllll about buying an older model of a shoe. I actually get frustrated when they continually update them, because it can be so difficult for me to find a shoe that works well. I run in barefoot shoes, so that has made things easier for me, but with everyday shoes it’s still a struggle!
