Taking it easy

Distance: 2 mi
Time: 22 min
Intervals run/Walk: No

Got up and ran a gentle 2 miles. It felt great, the morning air was crisp and the morning ground was fresh, my feet felt especially sensitive during today's run and the asphalt really over stimulated my feet (I have to cross 3 streets)--I was really aware of the steps where I scuffed the ground trying to push off or by not lifting my feet quick enough, need to relax, relax, relax.

I received a click-n-ship notification from USPS about my huaraches, so I hope to have them put together and on my feet by the end of next week.

To some up how I'm feeling I would say that my calves are aching, I have had a few blisters, and my feet feel like they've been to the gym for the first time in my life (which is true), but they are all discomforts that are good and show that I'm getting stronger. And to give a bit of perspective, none of these aches compare to what I felt in my knees and arches with each step I took while running with my shoes.
