13 medium paced miles (between 7:30 to 8:00) in Idaho Falls.  Felt kind of tired and sluggish the first half, but felt good coming back- I picked up the pace a fair amount the last 3-4 miles.  Perfect weather for a run (~40 deg, overcast).  I'm glad I got my 40 miles in this week even though I took Monday off.  I will run 6 days next week, 45-50 miles, with some hills and a bit of faster stuff.  3 more weeks till the Relay Del Sol.

Note to self- I think Paul's idea of tracking shoe mileage is a good idea. 766- 79 miles.

What size shoe do you wear? I have a pair of size 11 NB 767 that I've worn twice (12 miles total) that I don't like. If you want them, they're yours.

I usually wear 10 1/2, I believe, though it depends on the shoe. I would be interested in them.

If you want to email my your address (abx3 at xmission dot com), I will mail them to you.

Andy

I checked my shoe size for NB last night and all my shoes are 9 1/2, so I think 11 will be too big. Thanks for offering, though.

On a related note, if anyone wants a size 9 1/2 NB 754, I have a free pair for them, as well.
