AM-Today's 5 miles was faster than usual, but I felt pretty good. I wasn't trying to run it fast, but my body just kind of went with it. I averaged a little less than a 7:11 pace and finished in 35:54. All in all it was a good run. I just wish I could find a running partner out here though...

PM- Went on a little run with Ethan in the stroller. I can't wait for him to be old enough to run with me. The 5 fingers are doing good, I can definitely feel a burning in different parts of my feet and legs. I am liking it though!

No one's gonna want to run with you if you're wearing Five Fingers. They're going to think you're a weirdo. LOL!
