   goodNew Years Day 2.95 mi 00:27 09:09 pace

   First run of the new year. Took Ben out with me and he keeps up with me really well. The weather was perfect. Looking forward to the next 297 miles this year.

So I know I've got it in me to go at least 3 or 4 miles very soon. My feet felt good in the VFFs today, no pain in my right shin like last time. And I find that holding my stretches for longer after my fun help with the soreness in my calves.

     What kind of dog do you have? One of these days I will finally convince my wife to let me get a dog. Hopefully, we can avoid getting a fluff ball and get a real dog I can take on runs!

     We have two labs. Ben is our yellow lab, full of energy. We also have a black lab, but he's more on the lazy side.

   alrightOn the Treadmill 2.25 mi 00:24 10:39 pace

   I found out tonight I don't like running on the treadmill, especially in my VFFs. I much prefer the open road with the wind on my back and the sun in my face.

     I want to see those VFFs in action - we have an all night Young Life event this weekend, but we should meet up some time and go for a run!

   Running against the wind the first 1/2 mile sucked, but after that the weather was beautiful. And I finally picked up some headphones (Apple In-Ear Headphones) so I could enjoy some Daft Punk on my run. What do you like running to? As far as my body goes, my calves are getting a great workout in my VFFs, but I did feel some strain in my left shin. So I'm learning to ease in to my new "barefoot" running adventure.

   First year doing the 5k turkey trot. Took my wife and our two dogs. There were over 37,000 people in attendance this year. I ran in my VFFs and ended up with only 2 blisters. It was a good time though. But now after resting this afternoon my feet and calves are incredibly sore. Still getting used to the "bare foot" running.

   goodHomeward Bound 1.47 mi 00:12:00 08:08 pace

   First run with my new Vibram FiveFingers. The cold air this morning and little frost on the ground was a great sign that winter is surely on its way here in Dallas. I'm happy to be running again.
