5 miles in 47:28 in honor of my Asics GT-2120

Ran 5 miles today as I retire my most productive and best running shoes ever…my Asics GT-2120s.  They were with me when I almost got run over by a pickup early one morning in Charlotte NC.  They were with me when I posted my best times in 7 mile and 9 mile practice runs at 1:04 and 1:22 respectively. They were with me as I posted my best time ever in the RNR Half Marathon at 2:14:04.  They were with me when I finally broke the 5 hour marathon barrier in the Richmond Marathon, then walked a mile to my car and drove home…stick shift (ouch).  They were with me today as I took a nice and easy trot for 5 miles.

So…a moment of silence please for my old ASICS GT-2120s.

I just bought 2 more pairs at amazon.com for a great price!!

RUN ANALYSIS:
5 miles in 47:28, 9:30 min per mile at 6.32 mph; Out and back route (out in 23:50, back in 23:38); mile by mile (9:43, 9:40, 9:04, 10:04, 8:55)
