Warmup 3.5 @ 8:34 AP

Tempo 3.5 @ 7:19 AP

Started the tempo at 7:30 and slowly bumped it up, doing the last mile in 6:57.  AP for the run was 7:57.

I also got a couple pairs of shoes in the mail yesterday - my favorite asics 1140s that were 2 for $100 because they're outdated, I guess.  I'll break the first pair in tomorrow.

Ahhh....new shoes. Simple things in life that bring us so much pleasure. Great job on the training. By the way...I always purchase the outdated shoes..easy on the pocket book!

R - I'll never buy new-model shoes again.
