Day 4,088—Running in Sandals—

 

         I found an old pair of sandals when I was cleaning out my shoes, and I wondered why I hadn’t been running in them more. I used to run exclusively in sandals, but my feet would hurt after doing 20+ miles, so I made a deal with myself that anything over a marathon I would wear shoes, but I wanted to keep wearing sandals on my shorter runs but just stopped doing it. Now that I have been going through shoes so quickly and feel like I need to take smaller steps to prevent injury, I decided it was time to run with sandals again.

         I wish I could have gone more, but I am going out of town today, and I still need to get packed. I never want to leave or go anywhere, sometimes I don’t want to do anything, but this is a quick trip. I will be back on Wednesday, and I need to get some homework done, so I am hoping when I am gone, I can focus and do some work. I wish I could have ran more today to make up for what I didn’t do yesterday, but it just didn’t happen. I went to the store to get some last-minute shopping done, and now I need to finish packing and do chores around the house before I leave. Tried to go to bed early last night, but didn’t go to sleep until after midnight.
