Minimalist Running

I don't like New Years resolutions. I am the type of person to make goals all year round and work hard to achieve them. I don't need a new year to bring on change. However, this year I decided that one of my goals was to run 100 miles total. This is huge for me because I am not a runner. I have never been a runner. I thought this would be a good way to challenge myself.

I knew I was going to have to get new running shoes at some point because my old Nikes just were not making the cut anymore. I was hesitant to buy shoes while pregnant because I had heard your feet can change and didn't want to spend money on shoes that wouldn't end up fitting in the long run.

I finally bit the bullet and bought shoes. I decided on the New Balance 'Minimus 20' Running Shoe. It has 4mm of drop from the heel to toe and I thought this would be the perfect shoe to begin the minimalist running.

It is going to be a interesting journey!
