So I agreed to run a half-marathon with my sister and mother in September. I haven't been training much for it at all so I thought that I would get some miles on my feet and go for a walk/run with my kiddos in the double stroller.
I had planned on going to a local trail because it is shady and not as crowded in the summer as going down to our local dam. I remembered that it was about 4 miles round trip and decided to go barefoot and take my VFF's as backup. The run started off well and my pace was slow but steady. I kept running and noticed that the run seemed so much longer than 2 miles. By the time I got to the turn around I realized that it was 4 miles ONE WAY!
My poor feet are all torn up now but I am happy to report that my feet are the only things sore.
