I played with the lacing on my Aduos Pros before running this morning and now really like how they fit my foot. I need to make one small adjustment still to keep them a bit tighter on my heal but I'm close. 
 

I did a 10 miler this morning. The first 5 I did at a comfortably fast pace then the last 5 at a tempo effort. It was going great until in the 7th mile my right calf (which is not the I ethat has been giving me trouble lately) started feeling a better t tight. I slowed down my pace at that point for the rest of the run but still kept a fasting pace. I ended up finishing the 10 miles in 1:12:25 which is by far my fastest 10 miles in at least a year. Cardiovascularly I felt great through the finish and would have been significantly faster had I not been cautious with my calf. Hopefully this is a good sign for my half next week. With a little taper I just may have a good race. 🤞

Yeah, take it easy on the calf.
