I'm feeling so much faster and stronger.  I can really feel a difference in my body.  I ran five miles today.  It should have been an off day but it was beautiful outside.   Just kidding - it was dark and I couldn't see jack for about 20 minutes.  It was still nice to be outside.  I headed down 1500 East and felt a really sharp pain on the top of my foot.  I tried to keep going down but it killed.  Like stop you in your track pain.  I decided to turn around and head home - I was bummed.  I tried running again just to see - it didn't hurt running uphill.  Sooooo, I ran uphill.  I ran the reverse of a route I really like.  It was tough going backwards.  More uphill.  It was worth it.  I felt great when I was done.

Have I told you how much I love my Altra running shoes.  OH MY GOSH.  I just can't get over how great I feel running in them.  I'm getting another pair this week.  I can't wait!
