Adelaide Marathon Campaign - Week 2 of 16

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Turned in a good 6km today, and feeling like I'm benefiting from the weekend races of late. I'm still astonished how much faster one can run in a race. Trying to reach race pace on the treadmill is not easy, and just leaves me wondering how the hell I run so fast for so long on race days. One of those perennial mysteries I guess.

Today was the first outing for my new Brooks Adrenalines - these are similar to the Vapors, but have a narrower toe box and a different sole construction, though what difference this actually makes I haven't a clue. They seem to be a fraction lighter than the Vapors too. But all up a good shoe.

Track du jour: Eric Clapton's Tearin' Us Apart, a ripping running song. Definitely adding it to my running play list.
