My goal is to spend 2014 working through progressive run training programs starting at 1 mile, and finishing at 26 miles "strong" It's not a race, it's about the journey :)

wk 1 day 2 upped my speed .5 walk 2.5 run 3.5 getting use the treadmill was a bit claustrophobic at first, this morning was able to move naturally without hovering my hands over the rails lol ...

Thanks CES , Fudgey :) Walking and running always feels good it is one of those clear your mind and just go type of activities.

wk 1 day 3 run training to 1 mile speed: walk 2.8 run 3.8 felt strong.. so hard to stay with the program and not push too hard building myself back up from scratch finished with adding a nice 1/2 mile cool down walk .. Week one done, 2 day rest . Next week training is a little less walking and more run time and I feel 100% ready...

yes ,, I have tried to walk barefoot in the snow and lol it just doesn't work lol lol lol ... :) so I have to wear my boots which I love.. but they not good for running in long distances. Winter times I can not run outside.. Spring and Summer I run barefoot :) Just something about gripping the dirt with your toes that feels so right :)
