Even though it was chiller today than it has been lately, I did a double run again--2.9 this morning (24 degrees) and 2.7 this afternoon (45 degrees).
This morning my run went well, was able to sustain my pace, form and breathing for the whole 45 minutes, and this afternoon I got to try out my new Vibrams. I had a coupon from the BornToRun website that was going to expire, so I got the TrekSports and i have to say based on this first run...I LOVE THEM.
They have a little more protection on the bottom than my KSO's and are super comfortable. The real test will be how I feel tomorrow.

Day 13 - Tired Legs
Started a new schedule this morning. This week I was planning on waking up at 6.30 am and starting my runs at 7.30. However, I have trouble eating when I first wake up so I didn't, and I found that I was extra tired today when I went for my run.
I'm guessing there is a correlation between the two.
So the plan is to wake up at 6, give myself a half hour to wake up and then eat. Then by the time I start my run I should be good to go. We shall see.

Day Six - Recovery
Fighting soreness today after my double run yesterday.
Did 2.5mi in the morning and the afternoon, and again focused on form and breathing.
For my afternoon run I decided to go in my Vibrams, and I think that may have been what put me over the edge, rather then doing 5 miles yesterday. I always feel more tired when I use them.
However, I also found that it was the easiest run I've had in a while. No heavy breathing, no dreading of the next step. Just an easy 2.5 mile jog up and down my country road.

Day Five - Gear Wishlist
One of the best things about a new hobby is all the fun gear you get to buy.
Unfortunately, I can't really justify spending money on anything, but a girl can dream.
I think I can make a compromise though that at certain milestones I can indulge in a gift to myself.
4/1 - 30 Days of training completed | Endurance Belt
5/1 - 60 Days of training completed | Handheld Water bottle
6/1 - 90 Days of training completed | Trail Shoes
7/1 - 120 Days of training completed | Racing Flats or these
8/1 - 150 Days of training completed | Compression pants
9/1 - 180 Days of training completed | No Meat Athlete T-shirt
