Total Distance
12.00

AM: 8 miles in 55:30.  Beginning to taper for the marathon this week.  Things won't look too  much different.  Just a little here and there with the goal of staying sharp and to not over reach on anything.

PM: 4 miles easy on the way home from work.  Felt great to run without a watch.  Also, I wore Kinvaras instead of my normal easy run shoes the Adidas Supernova Glides.  It felt great to feel light and bouncy in the Kinvaras.

I do that (run watchless) on most of my shakeout runs... especially when I run a loop that I know the distance. Its funny how light and free you feel without that little 2 ounce gadget on the wrist

I can't believe duluth is 2.5 weeks away already!

Jake: I really need to do that (no watch) more often. My legs didn't feel great walking around at work today so that is why I decided to go not watch and Kinvara. Ended up with a very enjoyable shakeout. It should be like that every time. About Duluth: yeah we're really trying to figure out where everything is now and where we need to be at what time. It's getting close!
