Is there a better way to break in new shoes? I think not!  Humdity was back up but DP was low so today's run was not too bad. 64/88%/59DP- not bad at all. 

There was a 10k on the bike path so on the way through they handed me some water and gatorade. I think it makes a training a whole lot better. I wonder if they will just do that always. Probably not, but its a nice thought.

Must have gotten some of your weather down here, thank you very much. Nice 10K (plus almost another 10M)!

Nothing like some ill-gotten drinks to get you through a run. Nice work.

Kinvara 5's pretty nice? I'm finally done with my 1's so it might be time to find new ones...

Flat- Thanks, and I have never, what do they call it, bandit ran? I just happen to cross paths very briefly, but they didn't seem to mind and I liked the refreshments :)

Joe- Like you, I started with Kinvara 1 and 2. My ones finally dies at about 700 miles. The 2's I still use for mud runs/trails. They have 700+ miles. So far the 5's feel about the same. AKA GOOD. The 6 is the newest model, so I bought the 5's off Amazon. I prefer cheap :)
