Running

For years I have been running in mostly Nike running shoes (some Adidas), because I could get them cheap at the Las Vegas Nike Outlet store.
In the past 2 years I have switched over to Brook running shoes. More expensive, but better made.
In my Nike days I never realized that there are "slow, faster and fast" models.
I alternate my shoes: from slow to fast.
Ghost 14, Levitate, Adrenaline GTS and Hyperion Max.
The Hyperion Max is the fastest and lightest shoe.

6.40 min per km and a VO2 MAX of 42.
Best results in the last 5 years.

Running

This morning I ran my longest distance ever, 14km. 
6 inclines and 5 hills.
My leg muscles starting to tighten up at 8km, but I ran well the whole distance.
I'll know how well my knees and muscles recovered 2 days from now....

 Monsoon weather is here. Thunder clouds in the afternoon, and it may, or it may not rain. It has rained for the past week. The humidity is very high. Not like in Patras, but I am sweating a lot. My running time is about 10 seconds per kilometer slower....
