I’m SO Excited! AND a Dork!

Another week into this Chirunning thing and I think I’ve finally got it!

I’ve definitely found the “sweet spot” where my stride is feeling almost natural without me having to concentrate hugely on how every muscle in my legs is working and feeling.  It’s not the running that exhausting….it’s the concentrating!

I am on week 5 of Podrunner Intervals.  Last night was the first run of the week and it was not bad at all.  There were two intervals of 5-minute running each and I could’ve done more.

Again, I know that 5 minutes is like Running Preschool for REAL runners but I’m pretty proud of myself.

In a humble, Christian-like, good-parent-example kind of way.

I am running only in my Gorilla Feet Vibram Five Fingers now and it’s going well.  My feet are sore after coming off the weekend but it is getting better the longer I keep at this.

And the shin splints are very close to being completely gone!

Nothing short of miraculous, really, and I owe it all to Chirunning.

I’m probably not doing it perfectly but as long as the shin splints are held at bay, I’d run on my head if that kept them away.

Run on my head.

Yeah.

I’m a homeschooling mom.

Why do you ask?
