  • 6 miles, east high loop
  • core work (Mitch's ab video...it's the same one I do everytime, nothing special)

It was nice to get outside as the sun was coming up!  Ran in my Hattori's outside for the first time, I love those shoes!  It was much more fun than taking off my big shoes and lugging them around.  Feels like my feet and legs are just about 100% adjusted to running in minimal shoes.  I am going slow and my volume isn't very high, so that has probably helped.

Off to spend the day with my little sister who has the day off work. :)

Wasn't the sunrise beautiful today? Enjoy your play day with sister! Nice to hear about your feet adjusting nicely. I think I'm going to try and tackle going more minimal after SGM - worth a shot, right?

Rachel, I think that would be great! Especially if you start slow, I don't think it will cause you any problems. My legs and feet feel stronger and more grounded. I mean, it's not a huge difference, but enough to make me want to keep running in my Hatorri's. :)
