Did 4 easy miles this morning with an 8:22 pace in my new shoes.  The shoes felt good.  Nice big toe box.  I could definitely feel the lack of a heel and I hope my preparation has strengthened my calves enough.  I did however feel some discomfort today on the inside of my shins (mostly the left leg) during and after the run.  Maybe they weren't ready for the increase in mileage.  I'll have to consult coach Andrea.

You've run plenty of 30 mile weeks over the summer so it's hard for me to believe that it's due to the mileage. I wonder if the old shoes contributed to the shin discomfort. I hope that the new shoes + more soft surface days will make the pain go away. I can't wait to hear about the wild and crazy time you had in Tooele!
