<p>Morning all.  CONGRATULATIONS RACERS and GETTING BACK OUT THERE Folks </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ran about half of what I hoped to over the weekend, but faster than I expected, so I'm calling it even   I finally got new shoes (Asics Kayano) and my first set of superfeet.   It was still wet out, so I ran in the old shoes with the superfeet in them.  New shoes should get a debut tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been experimenting with the miCoach app.   I think it will be good for me to get in to some more quality type work until I pick a next race and start an official plan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elliptical and arms with laps on the track between sets.  </p>

<p>it's been available for iphone for awhile, and just came out on droid in May.   Basically you do a 12 minute assessment run based on effort, then it sets your pace ranges.  Then you can select a training plan and it will use those ranges to give you verbal commands to speed up or slow down to hit the paces.   It's a free app, and you don't have to have any other equipment besides the smartphone.   I heard about it several months ago from a iphone user and have had additional iphone envy ever since.    Worth a try for me!</p>
