Good bye 4 miles

Had a great 4 mile run this morning. One of my fastest training paces so far for this distance, and it felt great.
Yesterday, I noticed a little less energy in the morning so I thought about what I ate the night before. Turns out I did not eat enough calories or carbs at dinner. We had gone to a school picnic for my son, and with the heat and both kids wanting to play on the playgroud, my sandwich mostly remained untouched. Last night I made sure there was a better balance at dinner with a little homemade stir fry and steamed rice and it certainly helped this morning. Good energy and focus, which made my run that much better for me. Next week the 4 mile run turns into a 5 mile run, just like my 7 mile turned into an 8 mile. Just means getting up a few extra minutes earlier. I still am really interested in running the Rib Rub 5K on Saturday. It just sounds way to fun to miss, and it seems like every runner in Rockwall is going to be there. Maybe I can find a way to work it into my training schedule anyway.
Tomorrow is a rest day, and so I actually do get a little extra rest. Instead of getting up at 4:15 or 5 am like I've done the other three days of this workweek I can sleep in until 6:15. Next week I'm going to visit the Rockwall Running center and get a second pair of running shoes. I've got my half coming up in 2 weeks and would like to start phasing in another shoe. I really like the Saucony I've got now. My feet don't feel fatigued after a run like they did with my New Balance. RRC doesn't carry my current shoe, so I hope they can fit me with something similar or even better than my current kicks. I really do like to be able to support local retailers when it's possible.
