Since you asked, here’s the end result…
I love those shoes. They are one of my favorite pairs. They are absolutely inappropriate for a half mile+ each way walk over brick sidewalks. I’ve never been so happy to put back on my fleece lined flat boots to wear over to the fraternity to hang out after the party. But I rocked the look at the dinner!
Running news:
Yesterday’s run should have been awful.
- My toes hurt – even comfy heels hurt with too much walking
- My calves were cramping from wearing high heels – I guess they are used to minimalist shoes LOL
- I was exhausted – I actually got to see 1:59 twice on my cell phone on Saturday night
- I was a bit dehydrated – I didn’t actually drink a lot on Saturday, but unfortunately, that included not drinking a lot of water either.
Surprisingly, I had one of those runs where you don’t want to stop! I started out thinking I’d hit at least 2 miles and call it good, but I just felt so awesome running that I kept going until I hit 4.5 . I probably would have gone farther but it was getting dark.
So, 22.6 miles for the week, which means my goal for this week is about 24.5. (Instead of an actual plan, each week I am increasing my miles by 5-10% and working out the actual breakdown based on incremental changes to each run. So far that’s working.)
This week, I’ll run an 8 mile long run, a 5, a 4.5, and two runs of about 3.5. Slow and steady progress is the name of my game. ;o)
Love the dress!!
I love it when you tell yourself you only have to run a couple of miles and then you feel great and just want to keep on going!! Good luck on the mileage goal this week.
Great shoes! And Yeah for one of those runs where you just want to keep going – love those when they happen, especially when you’re not expecting it!
Looking good in the dress. That said, I just don’t get the whole heels thing. Why you women subject yourselves to that, I will never know. And don’t be giving me the old “we want to look good for our man” excuse; we all know that women dress for other women.
It was probably worth the sore toes and calf pain – the shoes look great. And that’s coming from a person who owns more runners than heels.
You look terrific!
You clean up nicely 🙂
Super cute shoes!
Very cute shoes! Glad you had a nice weekend!
i realized after i hit submit on the previous post that i was probably way too late to be voting, haha. you look beautiful!
