First run in the new Altras, which arrived this afternoon. Me likey! Very cushiony, not very heavy. I seem to be handling the heat better. Run was at dusk, so little direct sunlight, but mid-80s, HI in high 80s, and not much breeze. I noticed on the uphill coming back that the HR was about 160, which didn't surprise me given the heat and the steepness (and being at mile 6). Very happy with the new kicks and might have to consider lighter version for Big Cottonwood.
Also cruising up on my seven-year anniversary and 13,000 miles in those seven years. Won't quite get there by the anniversary though.
