9 miles total, .5 mile Bf (only 1 run bf) on smooth asphalt and concrete, warm and sunny weather.

Hi, my name is Katy.
I am 31. I have been running consistently for 2 years and here and there prior.
I currently am easing back into running after a metatarsal stress fx so my weekly mileage is much less than it was or I would like it to be (about 10-15 mpw) now and was (30-35 mpw).
Primarily run on roads-asphalt, occasional dirt trails.
Flip- flops about 1/4- 1/2 year…live in sunny so. cal. read more
