PM - ran 1 mile with Samuel in 10:00. We were averaging slightly slower than 10:00/mile, but he started to whine at the very end, so I sped up with him a bit. Then ran 0.65 with Joey in 7:03 - 10:50 pace. He did really well. Ran another 4 miles by myself - average 8:14/mile. Makes a total of 5.65 miles for the day. I'll keep this up the rest of the week and probably do a 7-miler or so on Saturday depending on how I feel. Looking forward to getting my new shoes today - too bad they didn't get here yet for me to run in them today. On a side note, went to the Road Runner Sports store today during lunch, had them do their shoe dog analysis to confirm the type of shoe I should be wearing. Barefoot analysis showed I have normal arches, and tend to overpronate. Then barefoot gait analysis on the treadmill showed I have a pretty normal gait and nice even toe-off, but that my achilles' are a bit too flexible (imagine that!) during heelstrike. Anyways, suspicions confirmed, I ordered the right kind of shoe.
