Just Call Me Speedy!

This past week, I finally got a break from the long runs. Well, not really, but sort of :). Speed was the theme of the week. So, I ran shorter distances, and worked on running at faster paces. I worked with more weights this week, too, which is making me quite sore, but trusting the future results.

...and I am finally caving and going to buy new running shoes. I've had mine for over a year, and they are great, until I run those long distances. Hopefully Fleet Feet will have a great shoe for me - what an awesome store! They find the right shoe for you based on how your feet are shaped, how you run, and all these other things I don't know much about, ha!

Speaking of shoes, have you guys seen these bad boys?

Crazy! Apparently, these are running shoes. There's a part fo me that is quite intrigued. I've always secretly hoped I could run around shoeless all day long like I used to as a kid (yes, I grew up in the south, ha!), and this looks like the closest thing to that dream. They're called the "Vibram Five Fingers." hmm...

And in other news, I have received more donations! I can't wait to get them turned into to Team in Training and further our support for this cause! I still have a little less than $1000 to raise by the end of this month, so please, if you can, please please donate! It's truly a wonderful cause!

MWAH! :)
