T-minus 73 days, 21 hours till KC Marathon

Run: 6.18 miles - Pace: 10:18/mi - Week: 10.39 miles - Total: 545.15 miles


This heat is getting to me. It was 85° with 55% humidity. I managed to get through the run pretty well, though at about 4.5 miles I just wanted to stop. This heat just kind of saps the energy. Pacing was pretty good, but I think I'm running on my toes a bit too much as my calves are really tight when I get done with the run.

I went to Gary Gribble's yesterday to try out different shoes. I just kept hoping that I'd put something on that felt amazing, but it never happened. I think I'll end up getting the newer Nike Triax when the time comes. I'm around 275 miles on these shoes and don't seem to be having too much trouble, so maybe I'll be able to go until about 400 miles on these. We'll see.

Side note, Carrie mentioned that she might join me if we got her some good shoes and a cute outfit. :)
