FORGOT MY SHOES!!!

I ran in my Salomon Tech Amphibians today... and ya know what? I survived.

I can not believe I forgot my running shoes, but I did. Luckily I was wearing the Amphibians and since it was POURING out we (my friend Jen and I) decided to kick it on the treadmills today and go the distance inside. We had a great time running and talking and it was a good workout. I did slow down to a walk twice due to concerns about rubbing in odd places on my toes, but I decided I was going the distance and kicked it back up to 6mph and continued on. We followed it up with some abs work and stretching and I feel great despite having non-running shoes. I picked it up to 6.5 and 6.6 for the last mile and that always leaves me feeling on top of the world.

I am hoping that as my runs get longer I'll get more of that runners high that comes after a good hard run. The euphoria is a pretty nice lift and seems to last a while after I'm done running as well. Did have some chaffing on the inner thighs this time tho, so I really need to USE that body-glide I bought from now on.

Life is good. Going to dinner at Bluehour tomorrow... should be fabulous!
