3k in 30 Degrees

It sure feels good to complete a legitimate run without pain.  I pushed the envelope quite a lot, and stopped when it seemed like my IT band was on the verge of stopping me.

The trick it seems was thirty minutes of stretching and ... My old Saucony running shoes.

It was a bit warm, at 30 Celsius.  

My previous false starts were attempted in either my Brooks Pure Performance or Mazuno Waves.  (These shoes have less support than Saucony Guide 6.)
