okay so  I got carried away....8 miles turned into 12!!!! oooops.    AND I wore my TWO versions ago mizunos with my new mizunos inserts (since the others were trashed) placed inside them.  I don't know why I EVER RAN IN THOSE Japanese flowered mizunos.  SERIOUSLY after wearing the trail shoes to work that are FLAT and trying those mizunos (the new ones) on  again, OH MY!!!!  but when I tried on my old mizunos (the pretty turquoise ones) WHAT A DIFFERENCE.  I was on a cloud!!!   lovin' it.  ODD how much they changed a shoe that states it is the same shoe just different print etc... with some positive upgrades NOT!!!!   Ran easy in case  I decide to race tomorrow.  Not sure.  AP for 12 miles up and around Cedar Hills area from my house in Pleasant grove = 8:24.  First mile 9:12.  Last mile 7:47 (the only mile in the 7s).  When I got to eight  I was a few miles from home so I decided to just run my long run today even though in my former self 12 miles is NOT a long run.  Trying to find my running self again.  60 % there.  20 minutes after my run  I drove up to the reservoir in Pleasant Grove and iced my self for 4 minutes while I talked to MelanieB.   Got a few STARES from a couple of fisherman.  I was wearing my bathing suit.  I am sure they enjoyed the view, huh!!!!!
