Ran the "Pie Hill" course in the pouring rain.  Seriously pouring!  For the first 10 miles, I did 10 x 1200 w/.25 jog between each.  3 of the 1200's were uphill- ouch!  Starting with mile 11, I shifted to about a 7:45 pace and then slowly jogged the last 1.6 miles.  13.6 miles total- 12 of them @ an overall pace of 7:25.  Came to the conclusion that my Kinvara's are good for a 1/2 marathon maximum- my feet were really feeling it by mile 11 while last week I made it just fine through 15.   Think I'll go with Saucony Tangents for my next marathon.
