6.5 easy miles on the east high loop :)

Gave the barefeet a rest today and wore regular shoes (but no orthodics). My legs/feet feel stronger and they land different now, so it just may be working. It's also as if they know that school is almost done (uhhh....like TOMORROW).

Great job. I am interested in hearing how the barefoot running is coming along for you. I will have to run with you guys again do on the parkway one of these weekends so I can hear about it.

Great run.

Brooke, you are so awesome! YOU HAVE FINISHED NURSING SCHOOL! And you didn't die. Felicitaciones! I feel like a proud father! I know that I had nearly nothing to do with it, but I'm still bursting with pride for your successful completion of such a monumental event in your life! YOU ROCK!

Huans32 - I will keep posting my progression. It seems slow, so it may be a little boring!

Matt- Thanks! :) :) I'm so glad you feel that way! What are you talking about you had nothing to do with it?! I feel quite the opposite. Thanks for all your helps and support along the way! BTW I started (and almost ended) this journey that fall semester I took your class.

Smooth - Thanks so much! :) YES, I have more time! Can't wait to run more!! I have already started. =0)

Thanks for being so excited for me!! Just finals tomorrow and an NCLEX, but honestly, both of those things seem like nothing compared to everything else. I'm not even nervous (hopefully I don't eat my words later :) ) Here's to MORE RUNNING!
