Had an excellent run today!! I finally knocked off all 5 loops at Lady Bird Lake!! I've been wanting to that for years!! The bonus is that I did it 5:30!! I really felt like I held back pretty well on the 10 miler to get started but my time was 1:50, so that got me kind of pumped and I just kept it up. 17 miles was around 3hrs. At that point I knew I had sub 6 for sure.
My feet are beat the fuck up though. So far the La Sportiva Fireblades experiment is a failure. They have absolutely zero padding and they beat the hell out of the ball of my right foot today after only 17 miles......and I had taken 2 vitamin I's after 10. I also took 3 more vitamin I's when I got home. So, I can imagine what it would feel like if hadnt taken the drugs.
Anyway, after returning the first Fireblades I've got 105 bucks invested so I've got to figure out a way to make them work.

Glad I can take those Fireblades off your hands. My all-time favorite trail shoe for rocks. There can be an adjustmest period when you first start wearing them. Of course, I ran a mountain 50 in a pair 6oz road flats, so the Fireblades were an upgrade. :)
