May's Over Already?

The end of May:

1. I finally found out where Runners World took their Free Downloadable Wallpaper picture of Chicago! I run by this little path daily but have never thought to see where it led until a friend of mine told me that it was pretty cool (dead-end-but still awesome views).
My Picture!

2. As an earlier post mentioned, I've been training in Vibrams and I think I've reached the point where there is no turning back to my Brooks. I went out on a run in them (Brooks) the other day, I made it out 2 miles and my knee KILLED! So I walked a nice 2 miles home (these are the days I wish I brought my cta card with me...) I have been told that I will know when to transition to Vibrams 'full time' and I think that was my cue. I ran 6 miles in Vibrams yesterday without any problems! Now I just have sore calves :) but that's expected! 

3. A family I worked for recently moved so as a thank-you gift gave me a LuLuLemon gift card!!!!! So I picked up a pair of running shorts--Turbo Run. AMAZING! I usually just run with an ipod and keys, but there are some days that having my id/debit card/cta card/keys/phone/ipod would be nice(?)...these shorts hold them all and don't weight me down :) There are two gel pockets in front and a larger zip pocket in back. (I also love the new bags they have!)

Overall, I'm bummed with my mileage, but I'll give my self the excuse of mostly running in vibrams, so didn't want to make my legs any worse from the transition.

Well, another month down- time to start training for the CHICAGO MARATHON! I'm very excited for the Super Clinic this Saturday put on by CARA--I can't believe it's already here. . .
