TRAINING RUN #3 and Cross Training Day

• Friday due to kid/work schedule just did another speed workout about 2 miles around the local park with the girl in the picture above. This is her reward towards the end of the run as we're leaving the park. 
• I also ordered new running shoes. I like my Hoka Stinson Tarmac which I hit 100 miles on this week but, are a bit heavy. I'll keep running with them in the rotation but drop them down to be used for tempo runs or recovery day runs. I just retired my Hoka Mafate for the summer. They have a pretty aggressive out sole and are a great trial/winter running shoe. I break them back out in November when the rain comes back regularly. Anyways I ordered Hoka Bondi 4s, They are several ounces lighter than both my current Hokas and am looking forward to running in them. I have bought my last 3 pair of running shoes from Running Warehouse. It's a great online running store. They usually always have a coupon online you can find to save 10-15% off and they have free 2 day shipping. The best part is your can return shoes you have run in!!!! I haven't had to do this yet but it available. I've never heard of this anywhere. You have up to like 90 days to run in them. I've have been burned before by getting 'fitted' at a running specific store in town. All shoes seem great jogging around in a store. I barely got 10 miles on them and hated the shoes I bought. Now they have been regulated to walking the dog to the park shoes.
• Saturday's work out was Elliptical runner for 10 minutes and upper body weight lifting: 10-12 reps set of 2 Dumbbell bench, 1 arm rows, military dumbbell press, dumbbell curls, one armed triceps dumbbell raises. Then repeat back on elliptical for 10 minutes and lifting again.
