Day 3 - Sppedwork and New Shoes

Tough day today.  Wednesday's are always hard for me as they are my speed days.  I ran 4 x1600 intervals at 6:18 pace.  The first interval was at 5:58 but I was way past my lactate threshold and was hanging on for dear life.  So in the interest of self-preservation and actually getting something out of the workout.  I dialed it back a bit.  Discretion is the better part of valor.

In other news,  I got a new pair of shoes.  Yes, I succumbed to marketing and bought a pair of The North Face Single Track shoes.  They are supposed to be a good trail/road hybrid and since my running idol Dean Karnazes can succeed in them I figure I can too.  Also,  They look sexy and I got them for $70 which is about $40 less than I pay for my Asics.  So tomorrow will be my first run with them...  Here are pictures...  Happy times,  Greg
