Less underachieving
Well, today was better than yesterday. I dragged myself to yoga. Once I was there, I was glad I came. My favorite instructor was teaching and I got a good workout in. I also ran my mile. Right now, I'm working on my form in addition to my barefoot running. Here's what I'm doing: I set the treadmill for 15 minutes, walk at 3.2mph for a minute and 30s, start running at a slow 4.7mph and then take off my shoes when I have about 3 minutes left. I spend the last part of my run running in my socks. I want to work my way up to doing the whole run without shoes. Supposedly, barefoot running is supposed to be the best for your form, but I'm not entirely sure how good it is for your joints. But every legitimate running person I talk to says that barefoot running is amazing. So, I'm working on it.
I came home, showered up quick, ate some cocktail shrimp (I needed some protein but was fresh out of milk for a protein shake), and went to interview a patient with my awesome partner. I came home, turned around and ran to meijer to get more milk amongst some other things and then came home and procrastinated starting to study. Tomorrow I'm going to have to go to school because my productivity level is alarmingly low. It's probably because I spent hours yesterday and today attempting to make some Mediterranean food, mainly tabouli and fattoush. Both were major failures. They tasted gross. Boooo.
Also, Bailey was being adorable so you have the pleasure of seeing some cat photos. You're welcome.
Alright, I'm going to head to bed now so I can be up early tomorrow and be productive...for once.

So, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the barefoot running thing is meant to be done outside..I don't think you are supposed to do it on a treadmill. lol
ReplyDeleteHmm...I don't think so. I've seen a couple people at the Y doing it. Though we may all be doing it wrong - who knows!
ReplyDeleteWhen I decided to start the couch-2-5k thing, I needed running shoes (not just "wanted"--my most recent pair were stolen during the car-break-in incident). And at the store, I tried on the goofy looking Vibrams, just for fun. And when I put them on, they made me want to prance around. Yes, prance. And I ended up buying them. Seeing as I didn't run with anything else, I don't have a "control", but I love wearing them. And I don't have to worry about stepping on a pebble or getting cooties from a treadmill. (Although I only run outside). I thought there was no way they would fit my funny shaped toes, but they feel quite cozy.
