Journey To The New Me: It's All About The Shoes

It's All About The Shoes

All I have to say is that since buying proper running shoes .... WOW. It really is all about the shoes. It was so much easier to run for the 5 minute stretches with comfortable shoes (I am back on the couch to 5k and I think I jumped back in at week 4 approximately where I left off) and the 5 minute run was more mental than physical now. Before it physically killed my feet to go for 5 minutes but now, it's like running on clouds. Delicious orange, silver and white clouds. Now, it's just telling myself that I can do it and to forge on through.

So as usual my sensor on my Nike+ seems to have that one spot at the end where it doesn't show me going down to a walk speed in the middle of the last long stretch shown at the end... who knows.

Here's today's run:
