It was such a nice day that I decided to hit Tuesday’s run after work today, instead. (Originally I was going to run it this morning, but I didn’t get much sleep last night.) It was really beautiful out, 60 degrees and cool. Actually, the last mile was a little too breezy; I was wishing right then I had on long sleeves! Best of all, though, is how consistent those first three miles were. Especially two days after running an 18-miler, no less. Yay!

I also ordered new shoes from my local store this morning; none of their locations had them in stock (I have to wear 2E wide) and while I could have ordered them online, especially in this economy it feels good to support the local economy. Doubly so when Pacers always does such a good job of organizing local races and the like! Hopefully they’ll show up before the half marathon on the 21st. The current pair of shoes have about 400 miles on them so I can certainly use them through the race, but that’s really about it.
