a stick.

my foot is 90% better. but i don't want to make it worse so i'm still taking it easy.

i am pleased to discover that i miss walking. not just walking, but exercising. challenging myself. i really enjoyed having a training plan. i'm the kind of person who likes to be organized. i like to follow rules and schedules.

i'm going to learn how to run now. i found a plan online. it breaks you in gradually. builds you up to a 5k over a period of a few months.

i went to fleet feet today just to look at prices of shoes. i'm not going to drop $150 on shoes before i even give running a shot. but i'm a planner. another smart person told me that running shoes should be a size larger, so if this works out...i'd need bigger shoes.

the guy told me about their fitting process. he used the phrase "the naked foot" and i almost threw up. they want. to touch. my feet. that will be the 5 most uncomfortable moments of my life. it will only take 5 minutes, right? it's not going to happen today. don't worry about it today, allison.

found your blog through meredith's fb post- fleet feet is awesome and sometimes the right pair of shoes can really make the difference between loving and hating running! and you can totally find a good pair for half that!
