gRaveYard mizunos resurrected for a heat simulation run at 1105am. This was not on purpose. I had to get Courtney to her Swim Meet at 6am and I was a timer there for 3 hours. Memory Lane. Three summers ago all three of my girls were on swim team. Brooke didn't want to miss out on staying up late and socializing so she quit. Even though she was really good at it. Amber only was on her first year and was taken out because her sisters wanted out. Now Courtney is back at it. She did quite well for three years off (two seasons off). I came home from the meet (time trial meet with Lehi Flyers) hungry so ate first then made sure my kids did their dusting chore for the day. So got out at 11 and ran withOUT looking at my watch once even when the mile pace would beep I CONTAINED myself from peeking. I wanted an easy run and no focus on pace. My guess for the first mile was a 9:30 (but it was 8:53) and my guess for overall pace was between 8:30 and 8:35 (and it was 8:15!!) AP 8:15, 8 miles in the heat. First thing Brooke said to me when I got back "mom you are all wet!!" I did go through a couple of sprinklers that I could find. ANKLE HURT THE ENTIRE RUN but the SHOES were HEAVENLY!! They are the ones I ran at the Mt Nebo half last year. Precisions with the japanese flowers. I had been wearing them to work and that's all. But my feet weren't jiving with my other shoes and causing more harm than good. Done with minimalism.

Glad you were able to run, sorry your ankle still hurts. Funny how your "easy" run today was a little faster than my run today that felt "not so easy." Good job.

And I have those exact same pair of mizunos! Wore them today actually... Turns out I'm trying to be like you.

ankle and foot was pounded into submission at the mercy of the RAGNAR RELAY. OH YAH!! :D
