Tempo run in new shoes

New route record. But it was super duper windy. The wind wasn't directly in my face or at my back, but it was very strong, and nearly blowing off my new running hat.  The temperature was perfect, and the wind kept me from being soaked in sweat.  It might have been a tiny bit at my back for the second half of the run.  I started off running by feel, but checked my times at 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of the way done.  By 3/4 I was fairly certain that I was running a new record on my 6.0 mile route, 46:19 or 7:43 average pace.  And I did, by 25 seconds.  That's the kind of result I've been waiting for.  No shin trouble at all.  Can I say again that I think my shin trouble was caused by my old shoes? 
Now, for an interesting week.  I'm taking a family trip Friday and Saturday so I don't know if I will have time to run.  So I'm running easy tomorrow, long on Wednesday, then easy again on Thursday.
