Last Night's Run

Last night's run went swimmingly.  The new running shoes that I bought 30% off made a huge difference: all my times dropped.

.5 mile: 3:30
1 mile: 8:30 (I sandbagged the second half mile)
1.5 miles: 13:15 
2 miles: 18:30

My goal was to run 2 miles in 18 minutes, but because of my fast time for the half mile, I eased off to a jogging pace, and was still able to coast to an easy 9:15 per mile pace. On top of that, the front of my calves weren't aching, it didn't feel like my legs were going to snap in half, and I'm not nearly as sore the day after. It's crazy how much difference the shoes and insoles made.
