Week 12: 20miles total w/e 4/25/2010

Monday 2mi sock run on treadmill.  Easy, quick run

Wednesday: 11.5mi long run, barefoot. Feet were great until about mile 9 or so..then the rawness and overstimulation kicked in and I felt every little pebble. Good run overall, feet recovered very quickly

Saturday: Wow, PR feel good barefoot run! No clue my exact distance somewhere around 6.5-7mi of pure bliss..Started off with dh and kids, running through puddles. Running right after the rain always charges me right up, though have never experienced running through warm muddy puddles barefoot! Awesome!
Dh and kids went home and I went out for another few miles, road was all mine..nothing but smooth buttery silky white line for miles ( I could have gone on forever!), on the way back, the smell of apple blossoms filled the air, sun shining on my face, butterflies flitting around me and a cardinal keeping me company. Absolutely beautiful fantastic run. I kicked it down hard for a few 1/4mi spurts on the road…it was so smooth and felt so awesome to get some speed into my runs for once.
Just thought I’d share, and still wondering who slipped the feel good into my breakfast…because, damn! can I have more of that on my next run??

Cross training: 2hrs belly dance, 1.5hrs yard work, 3hrs zumba
