6 Miler this morning

This ends the half way point on my 12 week 5k running schedule. This morning was 6 miles. It was tough. My legs were still feeling the effects of Sunset run on Friday evening. When I started out there was stiffness but it quickly went away. Today I was S-L-O-W. It was all about just finishing the scheduled distance. Six miles is long for me. Although I ran 6.6 miles two weeks ago, this is still long and tough. I don't know the humidity this morning but when I finished my shirt was drenched. I walked the last .6 miles to try to help cool down and help work out the kinks in my legs. I've had a pair of New Balance shoes in the box just waiting for a starting time. Today was the day. New Balance MT874. They probably will be terrible road shoes but I almost never run on the road. Mostly around the track areas of Athens High school. I got those shoes on a clearance web site back in May 09'. Without wearing them one time they felt like they had been broken in for a month. I think with the next running shoe purchase I will probably have to move into a really good road shoes. Although I'm not sure how they would handle the gravel of the Greenway.
