Ok. Now that the snow is pretty much melted, I decided it is time to get away from the treadmill and hit the street. I have come to realize that running outside is a little different than a treadmill. For one I have real entertainment, two it is harder ;) Since this is my first marathon, I decided to do something different to make it fun. I am going to run it barefoot. This brings me into another reason break-up is fun. Puddles. Not only do I enjoy driving through them, very fast of course, to make a big splash, but running through them is fun too. I feel like I am six years old ^_^
After work I drove to Wasilla to pick up these cool shoes (pics to follow). They are pretty cool. They are basically a foot glove. I got them to protect my feet from broken glass and sharp rocks , they don’t do much else besides look cool ! You heard it hear folks, I will be running this race with my stylish new foot-gloves. I am hardcore, and that is how I roll !
For those that are going to follow in my awesome footsteps, be sure to focus on calf raises because the calfs get worked a hell lot more than with shoes :-)
