Business as usual

Sunday night I wrote how proud I was of myself for not running for 4 days and well shortly after writing my blog it caught up with me and I headed out for an easy 6.  The good news...  I felt fresh during the run.  Today was new shoe day in the Purdeu household which is always a very exciting day.  I got a pair of Inov-8 Road Extreme 208's.  I was pretty excited to try their road shoe at a 6mm drop I was pleasantly surprised with the flexibility and comfort of the shoe.  I'll put a few more miles in them before I write a full review.  But they were on clearance at RunningWarehouse for $44.99 ($38 is you use coupon code FB15D).

Today I headed out for a 8 mile run at an easy pace entering my full taper this week.  I ran easy at a 7:10-7:20 pace which I right where I like to be during my taper.  My legs felt super fresh and springy.  It helps that it was a perfect day to run 60 degrees and sunny.  I'm taking tomorrow off and running Wednesday and gonna keep this taper moving along.  I'm getting pretty excited to race my first 50k!
