Today I ran 7 miles in 53:22 (7:37 min/mile pace). This was an easy run. Except for tomorrow and Saturday, all my runs this week are at an easy pace. I could feel the effects from Saturday's long run. I did not have any pain or problems, I just did not have the stamina I usually have. It is a great reminder to me to follow the schedule instead of bolting out faster "just because you know you can." I have not always been good about being patient in this regard but I am glad I did not force myself today.
I also ran in my new shoes for the first time. The shoes are Saucony Kinvara. They are designed as a light-weight shoe, I think about 8 ounces per shoe, but with some mid-sole support. They are designed for mid-foot runners (i.e., those who land on their mid-foot). I could definitely feel myself landing on my mid-foot. It was not uncomfortable and I am a mid-foot runner, it just felt different, more like it was encouraging me to land on my mid-foot. I will review them once I have about 75-100 miles on them.
