I’m feeling good today, my hip situation is pretty much under control. I’m surprised the pain is actually fading away as quickly as it is, I’m not exaggerating when I say it was debilitating for the last 48 hours. I literally could not walk without wincing in pain. Not exactly sure what brought it on, could have been the long run from last Sunday, followed by some interval biking on Monday/Tuesday? But anyway, I am better now. I even cancelled my doctor’s appointment.

I was in good enough shape to hit the gym at lunch today and bang out 40 minutes at a moderate effort on the elliptical. As I was going through my gym routine, packing and unpacking my bag, I started thinking about all the crap that it takes for me to function as an athlete.

Running Sneakers – Nike Zoom Vomero +3

These are bar none the best running shoes I’ve ever owned in my life, I’m now going on my 4th pair. They’re supportive, but ultra light and the material that cushions the heel is amazing. They feel like moon shoes, like your feet literally bounce off of the ground with each step. I’m not the only person that feels this way, I’ve heard other runners praise them with my same enthusiasm. Oh, and did I mention that they’re Nike + equipped?
