New Shoe Break In Miles..

So I'm walking into REI to return some Saucony Trail shoes.  Not because they were bad, but I liked the Brooks Cascadia's better.  So I returned the Saucony's and picked up another pair of Brooks and while I was there I wanted to give the new Salomon Trails a go.  The last pair I had were super comfortable but they loosened up on long runs.  These ones stayed pretty snug and were comfy as heck.

I started out thinking I was only gonna run a couple miles, but it turned into a full on 4 mile hill run up Millcreek canyon, back down and then uphill again thru pipeline trail to the top of Grandeur Peak, and back down to Wasatch Blvd going south to the Wing Coop parking lot where I strategically parked so that when I finished I could have a dose of Honey Habenero wings and a tall glass of Galandé amber ale.  Best idea i've had all week.  It was delicious and the run was great.  It was sunny and the view was spectacular especially since there was no smog at all in the valley.  

Total Distance:  12.2 miles

Elevation gain:  2500 vertical feet.
