lauren: day one, week one

So it begins.

I used a treadmill for 25 minutes today, completing a total of 1.98 miles. I think I actually ran somewhere between 1.3 and 1.4 miles, which was a little under my goal of 1.6.

It wasn't as hard as I thought!

Hurray!

...

I went pretty slowly though.


The fastest pace I managed was a 10 minute mile, and I think I held on to that for about 7 minutes. Still, that's pretty good for me.

Then I swan for about 20 minutes, and sat in the jacuzzi for 5, and then wobbled around the Minneapolis skyways on some errands. At Target I bought a bunch of heavy shit, and carried that to the downtown bus stop, then from my home bus stop a few blocks to my place, and now I will sleep forever.

Speaking of running, Kate's into barefoot running these days. Anyone else have any opinions? I'm in the market for a new pair of running shoes, and I'm wondering if I should look into the whole Vibrams craze and see if it would work for me. Running causes me a lot of hip/lower back pain if I'm not careful about it, and I'd like to prevent that if at all possible.
