WOD

Run 10k

Buttercups
Run/Walk 2.5k

2k - 15:18

I ran! Ok, I only did 2k (not even 2.5). I did not walk at all. I had wind left to continue - but the calves started to go. I am very happy with the lack of pain I normally get from the Morton's Neuroma. In fact, I had NO pain on that side. I attribute it to my no longer wearing tight shoes on my wide feet. The Vibram's are also helping. I wear them when I workout and a lot just around the house and to Wal-Mart (always worth the looks I get from people!). My goal is to run a 3k next time 5k or 10k rolls around.

Mr. Mirek, Tonya, Kim, Katie and splint - I heard you cheering as I ran.

We have what I was told as a kid is called "Dogwood Winter" starting here. The dogwoods are in full bloom but it might snow on Monday morning - the story is that it helps the dogwood blooms germinate. We also have a cold spell for blackberries in May. I'm spoiled from the low 80's we had last week.

Hooray for your run and hooray for no pain! So critical to running success!

Keep building it and you will run that 5K race this summer that I envision for you!

I looked up those Vibrams and they looked awesome, though I can see why people give you weird looks. Don't know if they'd fit my feet, I've got stumpy toes... :)

Thanks Tanya!

Where I live - new things are scary to the general public. Thing is, once the initial fear passes, EVERYONE jumps in.

The client I mentioned in my other post has the same claim - without knowing my story. He related to me how he had gotten these shoes that helped him with his plantar fascitis (sp). So, another unbiased vote in favor of their worth.
