Cut grass today. Hoping it would loosen up my legs, and it did. I felt real good running today. Well I did up to the 7 to 8 mile mark. Then my legs for the first time this week felt tired. They also hurt. I could feel the pounding with every step. I lost track of my shoe mileage over the last month and a half because I started to mix in some older shoes into my runs. But I figure they should be between 475 and 525 miles. I am getting new ones tomorrow. I am going to a running store I went to once before. I will have to trust their experience to help me select the best ones for me. So back to today's run. As I said felt good for most of the run. Was planning on 10 to hit 60 for the week. But at 8 I was hurting and headed home. Knew it would be a 9.xx run and I already had 50.xx on the books. Turns out in the end I got 60 by just a hair.

This will mark the end of my running week. It was a mileage PR for me. I know I complained about some soreness, hopefully due to old shoes, but other than that the legs felt good. I believe I am ready for 55 to 60 miles a week now. But I am going to take the next 2 days off for 2 reasons. 1) Today makes 6 days in a row and I need the rest. 2) I can now get back on a Monday - Saturday run week with rest day on Sunday.

So here's the totals for the week:
