Tried my new shoes today on 5 3/4 mile run

Ok so I took the pair of shoes for a short run at lunch break. The good news is no awkward injuries, felt snug fit, and looks like we have a winner. It was a bit chilly, but 60F is a sahara compared to whats happening around the country, yes I ran without any additional layers, ahh cozy san diego :)

I just made a bit of modification to my approach, following jeff galloways training tip, to include walk breaks (http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/walk_breaks.html). Instead of a pre-calculated breaks I just walked across traffic lights so 10-15sec of walks. Total of 7 or 8 walks and I was still on time and less sore. Maybe I should try more of these, but I dont like getting too technical or else that will play on my mind while I run "take break every XX mins", nah I think I will try and do it when I feel like I need one.
