AM - easy  3.0 mile run with Riley and Delaney.  First mile was really slow and then they woke up - ran the last mile faster than they ever have this summer.  Quite interesting how "refreshed" I am after running some easy miles with them as opposed to an easy run on my own. 

Bought new shoes (Ascics Air Nimbus ) last night.  I have been wearing this model for a good 5 years now - love how they are pretty consistently the same shoe year after year with only color changes or slight variations on the uppers. 

 

PM - Lunchtime run.  On treadmill 9.0 miles.  Last 6 were at marathon pace or better.  Was one of those runs where everything felt easy and smooth and could have run forever.  Love those.  Wish I could conjure them up in races sometime.  Was not planning to go with any speed today but the effort was not forced and I felt great - so I just let it go.  Only stopped because I had to return to my real job.
