5.19 miles mostly easy in 41:25 at a pace of 7:58. Ran most of the sections of the Coal Creek Crossing including the off-trail hill and the Coal Creek Path hill...did not do the crossing obviously.

Felt smooth and relaxed today. Had to hold back the pace for a lot of the run, which is always a good feeling. The Lunaracers are just so fast...they just want to go!

Tried the Lucho lace method today where I skipped the bottom-most eye lets. Really worked great with definitely less hot spots. Put the original inserts back in with the thin Newton socks. Good combo for Sunday.

My replacement NB M100's shipped last night in a 9.5. I may just keep the 9's around until the new ones arrive just in case. Would have loved to run them on Sunday, but in reality the LR's are just fine as there are few sections that require any real traction.

6.62 miles total with a 2 mile tempo near the end of the run. 10k in 47 even, 2 mile tempo in 13:26. Total time of 50:19.

Ran in the Lunar racers today with out the insoles. They felt mostly ok for the first 5 or so but after that I got a few hot spots. Callous under my left big toe was sore near the end of the run.

Overall great run. Amazing weather. Perfect for running.
