I need to get my running mojo back. I don't know if it's covid blues, lack of races, gaining weight, moving to a new neighborhood or what, but I'm just not feeling it lately. Having a hard time getting past 15-20 slow mpw.

This is the worst time for motivation. The weather sucks in the Midwest and spring ahead has me wiped out. I have TWO new pairs of carbon plated shoes but haven't ran in them yet because March roadways would immediately trash them.

Shawn Bradley is paralyzed after getting hit by a car on his bike. I feel like runners are less likely to get hit by cars and at least might have less sever impact if they do get hit.

You guys are both consistent on Strava. Keep it up, you can do it.

I ran a 10k in 500 mile Bostons Monday and a 10k in new Adizero Pros today. My mile pace was 30 seconds faster today. It was windy as fuck on Monday though. The Pros are not a soft shoe. Basically your feet need to be strong. The lockdown on the upper is great though and they look sick. I didn't really notice the energy return coming from the carbon plates. Oh well.
