Finally The Return to Running

Golf season ended on October 4th and I started running again on Oct. 7th. I signed up for a race on the 16th of October so I was not able to start running barefoot and be able to finish the 5k. I ran for 7 days prior to the race and actually finished the race in 32 minutes. Not bad for someone who hasn't been running for the last 2 months. I will start working in some barefoot running on the weekends but I do not want to get hurt trying to increase too fast. I have a few 5k races planned over the next month I want to run. Those will be ran in shoes until I can run 4 miles barefoot. I plan to start a training program in Dec or early Jan for a 1/2 marathon and I plan on running in my five fingers for that. Lets keep running.

Golf Over, Running Back On

Golf ended on Monday as we had no golfers qualify for State. I hit the trail on Thursday, I had to put on shoes for this run, I have signed up for a 5k in two weeks and I don't have time to get my feet and muscles in shape for that. So for now I will be running in regular running shoes. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I ran 8 miles, 3, 3 and 2. I am going to push hard to get my mileage up so I can complete the 5k close to my normal times.
