Hi all,
This looks like a great community, and I'm happy to join.
I've been running my whole life, but started running in VFFs back in 2010. (Yes, immediately after reading Born to Run/ mind-blown). This summer, after a hiatus, I decided to start ditching those.
First go: 1/2 mile on pavement. No issues, felt awesome.
Second go: 2 miles on pavement. Fast, felt awesome, but had a few toe blisters at the end. I think I need to pick up my feet more, and maybe ramp up the miles more slowly.
Otherwise I'm excited to start this new chapter, and hope I can learn from all of you!
BTW on first glance I can't quite tell if there's an active Portland community... Chapter thing is quiet and so is the Facebook page. If there's anything going on in the area, I'd like to know.
Thanks,
Brandon
