I can't imagine the towpath was a speedy surface on Sunday with the rain we've had. Sub-1:06 is great for a "bad day" or being "out of shape." Heck, I'd pay money to run that fast for 10 right now :) Glad you're feeling good after the race too!

Sounds like a great run!! I'm thinking if you have no issues from wearing the new Mizuno's on an 8 mile training run - you should be fine for a race!! Have fun!

I've been running in Skechers GOrun 2 recently. They are light as a feather and do not aggravate my plantar fascia or achilles. Love them!

Those watchless runs really are quite divine by themselves anyway! This made me smile, as it sounds like a really nice start to your morning. Summer training is almost the opposite for me, since I'm such a late riser (and afternoon runner) but I do admit getting in a nice early run and taking in a sunrise is pretty spectacular. Enjoy your weekend :)

Thanks all - @Premshree - IT band will flare up any time you extend your leg a bit more than normal - so strides, downhill runs, and running on a track with the sensitive leg on the outside will do the trick. Tempo pace doesn't, as part of the gain comes from increasing your stride rate.
