Once again, I didn't get a run in this morning, so I had to pay for it tonight with some miles in the heat.  After work I went over to the St. George Running Center and got two new pairs of shoes.  The Asics DS Trainer and Asics Cumulus.  I have been running in a pair of DS Trainer and just put in over 300 miles.  They are a lightweight trainer, and didn't last as long as some shoes, but I still like the feel of them, especially on days when I want to run faster.  The Cumulus should be a good in between shoe.  I have also been  running in some Nimbus which are kind of heavy, so the Cumulus should be about in the middle.  I did my first run around 5:30 two miles outside in the DS Trainers, then headed inside because of the heat, also the shoes felt a little big so I changed to the Cumulus.  I then did two more miles on the treadmill inside, then it was off to scouts.  After scouts Sunny and the boys weren't feeling too good and they all wen to bed so I took off and did my Gun Club run up the La Verkin Twist.  I did this run 3 weeks ago and hit 24 minutes going up.  Interestingly I hit the exact same time tonight going up.  Coming down I wanted to hit at least 18 minutes, which is what I did 3 weeks ago.  Well, I hit 3 miles right at 17:59, so my times were almost identical to 3 weeks ago, which I guess is a good thing.  I think I might have been able to run a little faster, but felt a little zapped from the 4 miles earlier.  Tomorrow I'm planning on running over at Pineview Track in the morning.

DS Trainer- 2 miles

Cumulus- 8 miles

Good ole Craig. That's cool that you are from Colorado. I grew up most of my life in/near Denver.
