7mi @ 8:50 pace this morning. Ended up starting out sort of chatting with a woman who ran Boston & just kept going. It was difficult to talk at that pace for me, but I knew a PR was waiting for me when I finished & I was right.

A Mizuno rep was in town demoing shoes, so I was actually able to run in a pair of brand new shoes for 7miles to see how I liked them. I tried the Inspires, they worked well, but I've got high arches & heel strike so I need a little more cushion & form to the footbed. I'll be sticking with their wave nirvanas which have served me well since I started running.

I noticed out of all the runners there I was the only woman to try a new shoe. Most of the men were demoing, but no women! Why is that?

Anywho, off to another busy work day for me. Lots to get done.

T-minus 9 days til the marathon!
