Long Overdue Update

My last update was December 2, 2010. We are now at the end of January and luckily I've kept up with my running much better than my blogging.

In my previous post, I mentioned the book, Born to Run. Although it has not influenced me to do an Ultra, it has persuaded me to try barefoot running. I'm not actually running the trails and roads barefoot but instead end a few of my runs in a double pair of socks on the treadmill. Eventually, I will purchase the Vibram Fivefingers or Merrells so I can take "barefoot" to the streets.

Here is a summary of my workouts since December 2nd.
