Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

So today marks the first day of really working into the new Instincts.  I went out and really focused on good form and a good midfoot strike.  I gotta say, it felt a little awkward without the built up heel and I felt like I was tiptoeing through the run, even though I wasn't.  Calves felt nice and stretched out at the end.  Didn't wear a watch so no idea on the time.

Hoping to put in 2 or 3 days a week in these shoes til I can get some mileage built up.  Hoping that my legs continue to cooperate through the process.
