Totally, totally lame 2 miles after work.. I'm glad Frankie got out at least a little bit.

1.) I was completely unmotivated to begin with

2.) I had a terrible tummy ache

So, I cut it short.

AP was something around the 9:40's. A very average run BUT on a BEAUTIFUL morning.

I guess what keeps me motivated to get up early is that in just a few short months it will be dark, cold and raining. I do love the morning sun and warmth. It's the best.

Another beaufiful morning. Pace was about average in the 9:40's. I wanted to try my VFF's but I'm scared. I stopped wearing them before anything got too bad.. My heel really started hurting and stinging when I ran. I go back and forth as to whether or not they are a good idea. Why stop a good thing? I feel great right now but on the other hand I really do like wearing them and I think they do strengthen my calves and legs....Hmm.
