I am out of the depths of depression that is work, no sleep, clinicals and class!  Felt good to get outside today in the sunshine. :)  Today was yet another good day as far as school goes, which makes up for the lack of running at least! I went to a self-elected clinical on my own to shadow a practitioner and loved it! 

  • Barefeet work
    • walking home from clinical in barefeet - walked 0.75 miles, ran about 0.25 miles (both on side walk)...the skin on my feet is getting tougher!  
    • running at the park in Vibrams - 1 mile running, 0.7 mile walk (on grass and sidewalk)
    • the motion seems to really strengthen and work out my feet in just the right way, as long as I don't go too fast or too far. 
  • 3 easy miles on the elliptical
  • strength training

The foot seems to be doing well, we'll see how it feels tomorrow. ;)  I hope you're all doing well!

AM

  • 2 mile hike up Mueller Park in Bountiful with James, dad, stepmom, sister

PM

  • bought a treadmill from ksl.com!!
  • ran 2 miles on the TM at 10:00 avg pace (wanted to do more, but had to get to work)
  • looking forward to lots of evening "shake out runs" (as the pros would say) while we watch TV and having temperature-controlled runs during the summer when I'm working back-to-back night shifts and can only run in the afternoon in what would otherwise be scortching heat.  I LOVE IT ALREADY!  So fun!
