It’s wise to regularly buy new running shoes. Every now and then, when I have run faster on hard surface, I have had some small hip problems. Well, this run was mostly on hard surface, I had a new pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus 12 running shoes, and hip pain disappeared during the run, literally!

Monday’s run was easy for muscles, but otherwise a bit demanding. Tuesday’s run was at the end a bit tough for muscles, but otherwise light. I was prepared to have Today a tough run for muscles, but eventually it was very much similar to yesterday’s run aka OK.

Pros:
  • Sunny.

Yesterday’s 25 km run had some effect for today’s 25 km run – as I expected. But overall today’s run went pretty swell.

Observations:
  • It's tough to run in the snow. It's tougher to run in the solid snow. It's absolutely grueling to run in the hard snow that breaks just as you take a step.
Pros:
  • I thought that Friday's super heavy route for the muscles would slow down today's run, but no, it was really OK to run.
Cons:
  • Snowy trails in the fores were in a terrible condition: deep, narrow and bumpy, and snow was solid.
