After running in the same pair of shoes for so long I forgot what it takes to break a new pair in. I am running in Asics Gel Nimbus VIII's. In the post below you will read that the first run in these shoes did not go so well. Ironically I had no clean running socks today so I had to wear a pair of non wicking regular white gym socks. They felt much better than the Nike Dri Fits which speaks volumes to how much I dislike those socks. The shoes felt good today, I did some tweaking with the laces and I really like the way they feel. I must admit that I still prefer my Mizuno Wave Creation 7's but these are nice too. One of the main differences is that the Mizunos breath a lot better which keeps my feet cooler. I am going to create a post just on my new shoes so I can go into greater detail about them and how I plan to rotate them.
My running plan this week called for a four mile tempo run Monday followed by six miles today and then a five miler tomorrow before my long run this weekend. I had been tossing around the idea of upping todays run to seven miles and tomorrows to six which I have decided to do. I ran seven miles this morning and they felt good. I started out with a pace in the nine minute per mile range and slowly lowered them without overdoing it. After tomorrows run I will have the highest monthly mileage total of the year! I can't wait to achieve that goal and then break it.
7 miles in 59:36
