Location: Rose Garden Run (with loops)
Distance: 6.0
Pace: 10:23
Avg HR: 172
Temp: 65 (wonderful)

Chip's route was the regular Rose Garden, with a few tweaks.  We'd stay on the north side of Kirby, and add tempo at several points along the way.  (The start/finish markers in the map are different because my Garmin took a while to locate a satellite).  

Before the run started, I was talking with Maureen and Matt and one of the clips for my headlamp-thingy snapped off.  Oops!  Fortunately, I carried it in my hand on the run, and it worked just fine. 

The weather was excellent - cool, with very little humidity.  No more of that suffocating feeling during 90 degree workouts. Maureen and I made our way along the route, and got passed by the super-fast runners as they were heading back to the Park.  Matt turned around to join us for a few miles to make sure we took the right route.  When we crossed back over Memorial, Matt took off and then Bessie arrived to be our final shepherd for the evening.   After finishing, I was hardly sweating and didn't feel thirsty at all.   I love this weather. 

Shoe Update:

On Saturday's TLT run, I wore the Adrenaline 5s (versus the current 7 model) - no blisters at all on my left foot, but I did get some irritation (not quite a blister) on my right toe.   So, I decided to experiment.   I wore an Adrenaline 5 on my left foot, and an Adrenaline 7 on my right…..and my feet were very happy.  I figured if one strategy was mixing insoles, why not try mixing shoes?  hee hee      I probably won't mix shoes for the Marathon, though - I've decided to run in the Adrenaline 5s.   I'm pretty sure they have at least 26.2 miles left in them.
