Week 3: Palo Duro 50K Training

My DailyMile weekly stats.

Stats from last week:

Week 3_Palo Duro Training

Lately, the idea of running on a treadmill has not been appealing, so I've been dragging my groggy self out of bed, pre-dawn and beating the pavement. The hardest part about morning running, is getting up. It's painful.

Last week, before I went to yoga class, I ran ONE mile sock-less. My feet rubbed and rubbed until they blistered. My feet are barely healing from that 10 minute jog. One mile was not worth it. I learned my lesson. But you know, you can wear minimalist running shoes sock-less and not blister. At the moment I have my eyes on the New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail. DROOL. Hey, New Balance, get smart - like Brooks and have me product test these shoes. I'm an expert in this field, trust me.        :) 


Speaking of trails, it's been a while since I've been on the dirt trail. The truth is, I'm scared. I've ran several times to the entrance and backed off because the grass is so high. Every time I think about running there, I have visions of snakes and hairy wildlife...it's enough to terrify me and be content with the road. Once the grass dies down, I'll give it another try. I miss it, dearly.
