"I get to run today!"

It sure is weird to feel like that.

I'm running 10 minutes, three times a week. Planning to increase time 10% per week until... I don't know.

I'm kind of worried about marathon training making it impossible to put on muscle. But maybe if I do one marathon a year, training for ~16 weeks, I can put on muscle the rest of the year and only run 30 minutes three times a week?

Today was my first run in my Zem 360 minimal running shoes, which I got to avoid running barefoot on frozen and heavily salted sidewalks. I'm happy with them. Conditions seemed fine for running barefoot today, but I decided to try my new toy and take it a little easier on my body. Not wearing my cushy running shoes still is a lot more work for my calves.
