Ran 3 miles outside with Sparky at 7:59 pace. Ran in my new Grid Tangents to break them in. They feel good. I will be test driving them a few more times to make sure they will work properly. If not, thank goodness for Road Runner Sports' 60 day perfect fit guarantee. Took Sparky back in, went out for another 4 miles. First 3.5 miles nice and easy, about 7:35 pace, then picked up the pace to see how the shoes would feel at closer to race pace. Last 1/2 mile around 6:30 pace, total time of 29:46, average pace of 7:26/mile, purely due to the last 1/2 mile. |
