I am out of the depths of depression that is work, no sleep, clinicals and class! Felt good to get outside today in the sunshine. :) Today was yet another good day as far as school goes, which makes up for the lack of running at least! I went to a self-elected clinical on my own to shadow a practitioner and loved it!

Barefeet work
- walking home from clinical in barefeet - walked 0.75 miles, ran about 0.25 miles (both on side walk)...the skin on my feet is getting tougher!
- running at the park in Vibrams - 1 mile running, 0.7 mile walk (on grass and sidewalk)
- the motion seems to really strengthen and work out my feet in just the right way, as long as I don't go too fast or too far.
3 easy miles on the elliptical
strength training

The foot seems to be doing well, we'll see how it feels tomorrow. ;) I hope you're all doing well!

Thanks Teena! :) I miss you so much, too! I did have a couple hard moments there these last few days. When my brain is so sleep deprived and I can't run to release the stress, it comes out in big tears. I don't cry much, but I do when I haven't been able to run for several days...it's like that's the only way my body knows how to deal with the stress it's used to be relieved by a run! Poor James...he has been such a HUGE support even though he's probably sick of me saying "I miss running" and then crying LOL!! Today was really good. Even though I could only run a little bit, it proves to my brain that I will be able to run again soon. So happy! I miss running with you guys!!! Can't wait for Ogden! :) That really made me happy today to realize I can be a part of it still. I gotta get ready for those 2 miles! :)
