Half marathon in Spira Shoes

As I got my new Spira Odyssey running shoes, I had to try them!
I know they always say, dont try something new at race day,but I felt very comfortable with the Spira shoe.
Sat 7am, lets get the Race started!!
Great course, great Weather and great Aid stations and not to forget GREAT SHOES!!
The New Spira Odyssey are well cushioned and have the wave spring technology (forefoot + heel)
They had a great impact absorption and energy return.
I had 1 big blister underneath my forefoot from my last 30 miler in "norml road shoes", but the Spira shoe cushion was awesome and I never felt my blister.
My pace during the race was fast, the whole run felt easier !!!
I did have cushioned Running shoes before,but it always felt like I was running in sand after 1 mile and sucked the energy right out of my legs.
Spira shoes "returned" my energy !! Wohooo

Oh, I had a great Race...got 4th Female overall and 11th overall. Despite my shin injury and not enough training. I "blame" it on my new Spira Shoes!!

Training for Mother Road 100

My next 100 miler is coming up, MR 100 in OK on Nov 13th.
Training is not 100% as my shins are still a problem, but was able to get finally a long B2B weekend in.
All nice and slow and on Pavement..!!
Iam waiting for my Spira shoes, cant wait to try them out. I hope they are coming before my Half Marathon this Sat.
