Today was Tuesday. After working all day (and telling myself that tonight I was running) I came home to find my new shoes had arrived. I have been looking for a new pair to try. I have a pair of Altras, which are ok, but not what I really need. I have an issue with my heels, and some shoes will rub and cause blisters. Since I take forever to heal on my heel (sorry, I couldn't resist) it isn't good. I actually take a while to heal anywhere that I have sores, cuts, abrasions. I've gotten myself checked out and it just seems that this is how I am. I do have very thin blood, so I'm not sure if that is a part of it.
But I digress. I ordered a pair of Skora Fits the other day. They are barefoot running shoes that have a stretchy upper and a rounded heel. I put them on and they felt great. I hate to say anything too soon, so I just decided to run with them and then see how it is. It actually felt very good. I didn't get any blisters, nothing rubbed, and running and walking was easy. I need to try them out for a few more runs before I make up my mind for sure, but right now, they seem to be a good pair.
Oh, I did log 3.7 miles in about 48 minutes. Pretty slow, but I didn't run the whole time, so a decent day.
When my hair began to turn gray abundantly, a kindergartener pointed to my hair and said, "Mrs. Wheatley, you have silver highlights!" So, I'm not turning gray, I have Silver Highlights! And I'm a runner. This blog is about my adventures as a runner and asthmatic. Read on to follow my journey on my weekly runs and many races.
