First Run

Ran Monday afternoon.....a holiday. It was really warm outside. Shouldn't have worn the undershirt. Live and learn.

Second Run

I had to move my second run to Thursday because Wednesday was raining and there was only 1 creepy dude in the park. It was much warmer, but my pace turned out to be faster.

I don't carry water and I needed it. I'll have to solve the problem.

Third Run

Saturday morning. Went to a different park. The track was rubber and felt good.

I could have gone for another full interval.

My knees were feeling better, but the outer part of my feet were killing me on Thursday's and Saturday's run.

While my Brooks don't have a lot of mileage on them (like very little), I tried a different running shoe store to see what they had to say. He said the Brooks could be overcorrecting my overpronation.

So, he fitted me with Mizuno Wave Inspire 6.

There wasn't much of a fitting process. We will have to see if that's a problem. I also told him my heel felt loose. He said he'd relace them, but I'm not sure that he did. Fortunately, on my last three pairs of running shoes, I had them laced all the way up (that last eye at the top) and that only secured my heel. We'll see if that works here.

I guess I'm not super impressed with the sales guy at fist impression. On the other hand, he just might be super good at his job.
