Really like the new shoes. Ran 4 progressive, ending at 7:30 pace. Felt hard at the end, but wanted to push it a bit for some reason.

Was going to row/power walk later in the day, but a mill was open and the rower wasn't, so jogged 3.5. Didn't feel great but got it done.

Ran easy warmup, then 8 x 30 s @ 6:58 with 1:30 recovery. Trying to get a bit more in the tennis mode.

Knee was feeling much better, so gave running another shot, and it was OK. Didn't push it but did get a basement run before the long day at the Symposium.

I think this is the last hurrah for the Launches--not feeling so good any more. Kudos to a great light shoe and almost 450 miles though. + 2 x wimp weights.

Beautiful 50-degree day out, so left the gym and ran a slow SH. Very enjoyable.

Ran 8:20s average pace. The new shoes and new treadmill combo works quite well.
