Half marathon in the alphaflys. Awesome shoes, but I think mine have slight defects. It felt like my right foot feels kind of angled in the shoe. Maybe that's on purpose? The first 8 miles felt great but then I tanked hard at 9/10. It was really hard to keep running the last 2 miles. I walked the last mile and half barefoot after I finished to half a marathon. But anyways I barely made it to my recitation on time afterwards and now I'm getting food.

I think a big issue that I run into and need to stop doing is that I will go out too hard and that always blows up my run. I need to ease into things and my first mile should be like 7:40-8 minutes for every run.
