New Shoes today, A nice pair of mizuna's I like them, they are a little higher in the back end, and have a little less coosh, but I feel well supported. Nice fit for a 12.1 mile run (and yeah I stopped my timer at exactly 1:59:00). Made it to the Kennedy school but didn't stop for a movie, unfortunately I turned around and started my run back.

The run was interesting, I traversed from all the way in the south of Portland to the near northern extent of the city and back, and it was only 12.1 miles. Check out the route

I felt good, tried to concentrate on posture, form, stride, and the effect of the new shoes. A good run.

It is odd that I now feel like 12 miles is a harder run, while only 3 or 4 months ago a 3 mile run was almost impossible and a 6 mile a giant hurdle. I'm excited to see these advancements.

Oh I'm also signed up for the Hood to Coast run, and talk about excited. The weekend of the 22nd I will be running from Mount Hood to the Oregon coast. 197 miles of relay race with a team of 12 people. It is going to be exciting!
