Almost time to retire this pair of shoes. I saw that Asics is reintroducing some of their old shoes (from when I started running in the late 80s) as fashion/casual shoes. I'm somewhat tempted to actually get them for real live running shoes if I can find a pair that's not too offensively colored. (My desire to look street-smart, phat, and whatever other bullshit platitudes hovers somehwere in the negative percentages.)

I didn't go to sleep until fairly late last night, so I'm going off about 4.5 hours of sleep, which I can't do for much more than a day or two lately.

I wasn't going to crank very hard today until I realized that when I started doing the 24/25 stroke repeats that I was actually holding about 2:04-2:05/500m pace. My initial warmup was about 2:08/500m, and once I'd hit the halfway mark, I backed off the 2:04/500m pace for a bit. I started speeding up near the end, and held about 2:02/500m, with a 1:59/500m finish - without wanting to woof, which is an encouraging sign. I think.

The running...now, that's not so encouraging.
