Weekend wrap 11-6/7

Saturday.
rest day. feeling the walking lunges with the plate.
went out with the boy to do a little exploring and pick up a few items. ended up grabbing a pair of vibram five finger kso's.
had been eying up the bikila but they didn't have my size so i tried on the flows and dug them. wore them around a bit to get the feel for them. liking them a lot.
will get a run in and start to use them at the gym. review pending...

Sunday
well got a run in the vibrams. everything i read said to start off easy. mile maybe less. yeah well it was such a nice day and all....
i ran 3.75 on a loop around the neighborhood. mix of pavement, grass, etc. felt pretty awesome. took a little while to get used to them and i think i was over thinking my stride. once i just settled in it was much easier. did a few hill repeats on the loop and felt good going up. coming down tried to stay on the balls of my feet to lessen any heel strike and it felt pretty good.
calves definitely feeling it after the run. little tight.
all in all very cool!!

got out and mowed the lawn to suck up some leaves and then ran the leaf blower for a while. good stuff. got the front done. until tomorrow i'm sure more will come down.. argh.
happy fall!
watched the marathon. not sure i want to run a full marathon. we'll see.

peace! beautiful weekend!
