frog

   i biked to the lake today, ran 10 minutes, and biked back home. and all in my new five fingers! i've walked in them a lot the last couple days, did a photo shoot in them (which was amazing!) but today was the first running test!
   other than the break-in blisters (which i had forgotten about since i haven't bought new running footwear in well over a year) it was perfect! i was naturally up on the ball of my feet & toes and they really do feel like running barefoot - minus the stone bruises.
   i can tell my biking is still whittling away at my legs, which i am super excited about. yay! now all i need to do is find a pool and start some triathlon training! (i really wanna do one soon IF i can start swimming)!
   anyway, i am in heaven on my bike. other than swallowing insects around boomer (seriously, i got 3 or 4 tonight! glaaagghhhh) my rides are always perfect. i'm super competitive with myself so i can't just 'ride' my bike. i must conquer it, show it who is master. i must whip my legs into submission, ignore my heart rate and go as fast as i can. i fly through parking lots, cut across fields (its not a road bike, don't worry), ramp off curbs and generally scare pedestrians who don't hear me coming. i love it! i think its because i'm actually fast on a bike!!   =D
   with all this speediness plus two (bike)broken collar bones under my belt (sports bra?!) i should probably consider investing in a good helmet. crazy idea.

i feel like a frog in these, but they are amazing!


in conclusion, if you're in stillwater and see a crazy with frog feet flying down the street on a bike with a crazed look in the eye, its probably me.
don't honk please.
