I didn't do any running in Croatia, but I went for a few swims!

I got back to Tilburg on Tuesday (July 29) but I decided to forgo the run. I wanted some time to relax and recover from the train rides.

I went for my 45 minute run on Wednesday. It was easy. Perhaps that is because of the long break that I just had? It was also the last run that I had with my old running shoes. I have been running with them for at least 3-4 years. They had huge hole all over the place, so it was time for a change.

I got my new running shoes on Thursday in a package sent from home. Yes! They are called "Adidas Supernova". Hmmm. I was excited about trying them out. They feel a bit tight. Maybe that's just because I need to wear them in. And, I have been used to running in those old, loose running shoes. I went for the one hour run. After about 20 minutes, I felt a little drained of energy (perhaps, because of the heat?) so I slowed down a little. I felt better by the halfway mark, and had a nice run back to Hasseltstraat.

It felt good to stretch after the run. I was worried that not stretching for 10 days would have been harmful, but I don't seem to have lost that much flexibility.
