Normally don't run on Sunday but had some extra time and thought I would get in a few miles.  It was raining outside so stayed in on the TM.  I got some new shows that are meant to be more minimualistic (is that a word?) and going to take it easy getting used to them.  Don't want any injuries but hope they help over the long run reduce some of the aches and pains.  Felt good running.

It was warm and very humid this morning.  Felt good after a great labor day yesterday.  Started off easy and then started picking up the pace after 4 miles.  Ran the last two around MP but was really just pushing for a fast finish.

A little cooler this morning but still very humid.  Felt good this morning but just ran easy.  Still trying to get used to the new shoes.  Felt good but want to take it easy with the change.

Had some early stuff with the girls so ended up running at lunch.  It was very warm (84) and humid.  Felt pretty good but the heat started getting to me the last couple of miles and I took it real easy finishing up.  Just glad to get in the miles.

Awesome morning for running.  A front moved through last night and it was in the 50's this morning.  I felt good but just did an easy run.  Ran 4 miles in the new shoes and starting to get used to them and they feel good.  Definitely makes me focus on my form.
