Make Like Forrest and RUN!

Filed under: 5k Training,Health/ Fitness,Inspiration — gardener @ 8:50 am

I bought these shoes a while back because I thought it would be good while trying to train for a 5K to actually have ‘running shoes’ as opposed to Crocs to run in.   I know- it sounds crazy (and probably looked even crazier), but those Crocs made some pretty good running shoes.

I will admit that I bought these because the stripe was red (one of my favorite colors), and then I bought the “Project RED- Nike shoestrings” simply because they matched so well.    I also found out that these shoes would support the Nike + iPod (iPhone) platform, so I bought the sensor and I was ready.

Yesterday I put my ‘shoes’ on and I walked to Desere’s-  9 minutes for just under 3/4 of a mile.   I wasn’t running- but walking and based on the fact that I was out of breath, I obviously need to put those shoes on more often.

I did a little running yesterday afternoon with JJ  in hopes that he’d get a shed a little excess energy- and I felt great.

I think I need to make like Forrest Gump and start -running more often.  Who wants to join me?   Now that the daylight hours are longer- it makes it so easy to walk in the evenings after dinner.
