New shoes

I bought the Asics Speedstar 2 about 5 weeks ago to be my race shoes, and I ran in them for the first time this morning. They felt light--they're the lightest shoes I've ever owned--so by extension, I guess I felt light. I didn't really test them by pushing the pace except to do several strides, since today was supposed to be a short, easy run. I'll use them for an 18-miler tomorrow, so I'll have a better idea about how they'll feel for the marathon.

Total: 6 miles in 43:50; or 7:18 pace
Details: Out in 22:30, back in 21:20 (faster due to the strides)
