10 easy. Postponed the workout a day due to illness. Also new Streak 6's arrived, so I'm excited to give those a try.

6 x 1k w/ 2:00 rests + 4 x 30s fast

I woke up Christmas day with a cold coming on, and so far it hasn't gone full blown yet. A little congestion and a scratchy throat, so I went ahead with the workout. I pared it down from 7-8 reps to 6 with shorter recovery. It went okay, though a little slower than I wanted to see.

It was about 47°F this morning with a stiff breeze out of the north that got stronger as the workout progressed. The first 2 reps were not affected, 3 had a favorable wind, and 4-6 were unfavorable with #4 the worst.

I gave the Streak 6's a try today. First impression is really good, though I'll need to spend a little more time in them. I thought they fit a little too tight at first, but they seemed to get more comfortable by the end of the run. The stiffness of the shoe is a nice change over the Lunaracers that I'm used to, but it also has the tendency to make my toes fall asleep. I wonder if that will be an issue over longer runs or if it'll go away as they wear in. At easy pace, it almost feels like there's a lateral support post that I really don't like, but that sensation goes away as I speed up and land more mid- to forefoot.

12 on the levee. Cold and windy, but the rain was kind enough to let up during my run or this one would have been miserable.
