I am so glad it is Friday! It has been a busy week and I am ready for the weekend! We don't have big plans for the weekend but I am so looking forward to resting a little more than I have this week.
Next week is going to be a mini vacation for me too because I will only be working Monday and Tuesday and then I am off for the rest of the week! I am hoping to get a few goods runs in and just relax a little. There are a few things that I want to get done around the house but we will see how I decide to spend my energy. Most of the time running wins and I put my energy into a good run!
Since the Brooks Pure Flows did not work out for me, I returned them to REI and decided to try out the Mizuno Wave Rider 15's. REI carries them in one color and one color only, which I am not crazy about, but I will live. I will take them for a short run this weekend to see how they feel and if all is well, I will try them out on a longer run. I have an 11 mile run planned for sometime this weekend but don't think that it would be a good idea to try the Mizuno's out on a long run quite yet.
I not only bought new shoes but I also bought a Stick. I do own a foam roller but I have always been kind of curious about the Stick and finally bought one! I think it is a lot easier to use than a foam roller on certain parts of your body so I will be trying this gadget out too. I think I am going to like it for some reason or another.

Do you use the Stick or a foam roller? What's your opinion of the Stick if you own one?
