| Beautiful view while I was running today! |
Today was definitely the best 10 mile run I have ever done. I wore my new shoes, brought my new fancy iphone with me and felt awesome the whole run! What an amazing feeling. I even dressed perfectly for the beautiful weather we had, which is a miracle all by itself! I wasn't too hot or too cold and everything was comfortable. I also brought my handheld water bottle and a hammer gel along to keep hydrated and energized.

| About to head back over the bridge to Tacoma! |
My course was from my house over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and back, which is a tough run due to all of the hill work involved. It was such a pretty day though and the views while running over the bridge are totally worth it! Oh well, like I said before it doesn't matter where I go around here, there are hills in all directions so I may as well just get good at running up them! I ended up running faster than I had intended, but my pace felt really good so I just kept at it. My time was 1:33 for a 10 mile run which is about a 9:20 pace. Fast for me!

| Mile 5.5- quick stop for a gel and attempt at taking my own photo! |
I think my new shoes are to thank for that, they are extremely comfortable and encourage a light, quick mid to forefoot strike. I bought the New Balance Minimus Road last week after much research. I wanted something slightly cushioned yet still very lightweight and minimal. I admit this was not my first choice but after trying them on and going for a quick jaunt in them down the sidewalk I was sold! They rock. LOVE THEM!
