Well today was day two! I just finished my run, and the weather today was amazing!! Well I only ran just over a mile today at a pace about a minute slower than normal. I have been wearing the brooks ghost 5 running shoes it is by far the most comfortable running shoe I have ever had, but they are very heavy with the pair weighing 1.2 pounds. Since
it is time for me to get a new pair anyway I have been looking at getting a pair of minimalist running shoes probably a pair by brooks. So, I have a pair of vibrams that I have been wearing at the gym and I decided to rin in those today. They felt very different! Anybody have thoughts on minimalist shoes?
This was from today, hopefully I will do 3-4 miles tomorrow.
On a completely different note I thought I would tell you a little more about me. So I was looking at joining the Marine Corps as an officer but after much thought I have decided to go enlisted. My family does not understand my decision at all and they really don’t want me to do this. A few years ago when I first thought about enlisting it was just because of the job security. Now it is for so much more. I have always been a very strong willed independent person. I feel like my family my husband included doesn’t think I am capable of doing things on my own. This would prove that I am very capable of doing anything on my own. I also believe that we should fight for what we believe in and what better way than by joining the Marine Corps.
