Run 211 Miles in 2011!

In January, I made some New Years resolutions. Two of my goals were running related. I ran the Riverbank Run 10k (check!) and yesterday I reached my goal of running 211 miles in 2011 (check!). In retrospect, I guess this goal was pretty easy since it's only July. But oh well, I will just keep runnin' anyways.

I hadn't run in my vibram shoes for about two weeks because I cut my heel and they rubbed on it too much. Well, yesterday the vibrams felt comfortable enough to wear. The problem is that I had decided to do a 5k distance and you're supposed to break yourself into wearing those shoes. I felt really good during the run, so I just kept running. I have to say, I feel a huge difference in my vibrams compared to normal running shoes. I feel much faster and lighter on my feet. It wasn't until I stopped that I realized I had been getting blisters. Boo. My calf muscles are also pretty sore. I'm in pretty sad shape. I ran five days in a row, so I don't feel bad taking today off!

Now I'm off to continue organizing our house/life. Have a great FRIDAY!!!!
