Broke out the new shoes today. It was a little sloppy out with some of the snow melting but figured id break them out anyways. 6 miles, relatively easy.

very uneven, slick footing today for my "long run" of 8 miles. Ran out on the country highway and every time a car went by I had to hit the shoulder where it was a few inches of loose unpacked snow, some of the other side roads i took were very uneven too. Very hard to find footing, made it tough to get in the zone. Otherwise, I did feel pretty good so that is always a plus.

1- 7:17.2

2- 7:39.2 (14:56, 7:28 avg)

3- 7:15.6

4- 7:17.4 (29:29, 7:22 avg)

5- 7:09.1

6- 7:22.3 (44:00, 7:20 avg)

7- 8:01.8

8- 7:30.3

TOTAL-- 59:32, around 7:26.5 avg.

Overall, a good run, like i said i felt good. Mile 7 sucked, no smooth spots to run at all, but other than that it was a good day.
