I'll Take It

Not a bad week, but nothing too great either. Recovery from Dances with Dirt was the main goal early on in the week and then the latter part of the week was spent trying to fit in some runs around an out of town wedding. I got the miles in which is all you can ask for sometimes. This is how last week went down:

Mon: 7 Miles Recovery from DWD
TuesAM: 9 Miles 6:38 Pace
TuesPM: 7 Miles
Wed: 17 Miles 6:21 Pace (last 8 around 6 pace)
Thur: 7 Miles
Fri: 21 Miles 6:41 pace
SatAM: 12 Miles 7:30 pace
SatPM: 10 Miles
Sun: 10 Miles Wedding Recovery Pace (Read: SLOW)

Total: 100 Miles in 9 Runs

Over the weekend, I took a look at my shoes and noticed that the bottoms were completely worn down to the point where there is hardly any tread left on them. That made me start thinking about how long I've had this current pair of shoes. I racked my brain and realized that my wife bought them for me as an early fathers day present, and that I actually wore these shoes for the Sunburst Marathon (which I dropped out of half-way through due to bad pacing).

So today I went back and looked at my log and realized that I've run over 1200 miles since then, and all but probably 30 of those miles were done in these shoes. Yikes. No wonder I've been noticing more and more pebbles during my runs. I can actually feel them through the shoe. I think now would probably be a good time to make that last marathon race day shoe purchase.
