| | Looking back and realizing that my last actual workout was much over a year ago, I decided to get going again, but this time with minimalist shoes. Right now my goal is to eventually run a 5k in them as soon as I can build up. I feel kinda pathetic only running a quarter mile today, but I was told no more than 1/4 - 1/2 mile day with no more than a 10% increase per week. So these next few weeks may be a bit slow moving, but I'll eventually get there. | | Add Comment |
| | Day two of minimalist training. Not much to say as my run was so short. | | Comments(1) |
| | Ran my quarter mile again today. I can't wait for next week so I can run a bit longer. I guess the short runs leave for a lot of time to lift though, haha.

| | The final day of my quarter mile week haha. Again, not much to report as I took my 400 meters.

| | This week I'm running 800 meters a day. It feels nice to be able to be able to run a bit more, even if it isn't much. Lifted for an hour or so before running today.

| | Today I ran outdoors instead of on the indoor track that I usually frequent. My right arch has been sore, but I think I'm adjusting well to these new shoes.

| | Ran on the usual indoor track today. My right calf seems to tighten up a lot, and I'm not sure if it has to do with my arch or my nail hole... the good thing is it feels just fine after the run haha.

| | Another half mile today. Not much else to say, really.

| | Last day of my half mile week. I'm excited to be able to run a bit more next week. I also biked 15 miles before my run this morning to get a little more of a leg workout.

| | I'm back after a two day break, but I think it helped a bit. My arches have been pretty sore these last few days.

| | Bumped up "mileage" to three quarters of a mile haha. I'm feeling great, and the soreness in my arches cleared up over the weekend. More exciting news from the weekend, I got my mission call to Cochabamba, Bolivia! I'm way excited and hopefully they have some good places to run haha.

| | Got back to running today. Arches a bit sore after not running these last two days, but that went away by the third lap. I can definitely feel them strengthening up though.
