Early this Sunday morning, for the first time since I injured my foot at the end of last year, I went out for a run wearing my Vibram Five Fingers. For this workout, I ran over to Millcreek Elementary, up to 1500 South and back to home by way of Big Cottonwood Park. The total distance of this run was 3.3 miles at an easy pace.

My second run of the day ended up being an errand run. First, I ran over to Smith’s then up Skyline High School and over to REI to pick-up an online order before heading back home. The total distance of this run was 12.7 miles at an easy/recovery pace (i.e., 9:02 minutes per mile and a heart rate of 141 bpm).

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Did you get more weird looks from people because of the VFFs or for running on Sunday in Utah?

Both, LOL Burt!!!

Sunday running is a no-no in Utah!

How big was the package? I can't imagine running that far with much more than my water bottle.

Nice early morning run KP! By the way, it was a package a little larger than a shoe-size box; however, I'm use to running with groceries so it was really no big deal. Happy Running!
