Tonight was a pretty uneventful run, not much to say about it. 

6.2 miles- 55:38

I do have a question though. How many miles do you get from your shoes. I know Sasha gets more then us mere mortals. But I have been getting some aches when I'm running nothing big but I didn't think my shoes were that old, I even check the sales receipt (I save them til I buy a new pair) for the date. 5/28/08, but when I check my mileage on them it was 510. Should I be able to get more? I have a small hole in the back by my ackeles tendon that is giving me a blister. I guess this is one of the hazards of running more miles them before. Needing to get shoes more often. :)

Your shoes are done ;) The recommend 4 to 5 hundred miles. If you have two or more pares to rotate you can get more than 500 per pare. (There is this recovery time for the shoes cushy stuff and running everyday on them, does not give the cushy stuff time to "recover" fully) If your feet/legs are bugging you, it's time for new shoes :) Easy fix, expensive, but easy :)

Great pace and miles! You are smokin'!

Marion,

I figured... that was probably the problem :( Looks like I will be at the running store this weekend. I have never had two pairs to rotate between, just so much money. Maybe one day I will find that money tree I have been searching for LOL

No kiding- they are really expensive. There is a place down here in Spanish Fork who give 25% off their already low prices. My shoes are ~$109 at runners corner and I get them there for ~$69. Its great. Hey- let me know if you find that money tree :)
