Holy crap. It is amazing what minimalist running shoes and proper form for those (landing on the ball of your foot instead of the heel) will do to one’s pace. SO much more spring in my step once the foot is gently absorbing the impact instead of transmitting it up to the knee. My body kept on wanting to go faster and start doing the kinds of motions you see sprinters doing.
My new shoes are, of course, blue and white, because Rita.
My legs are probably gonna ache for a bit for the next few days from this new motion, but it shouldn’t be too bad given that I’m really still easing into running as a whole. And engaging more of my body at once just makes the inner animal delighted.
it also probably didn’t hurt that I was listening to a playlist of stuff I was considering for the first Rita Kickstarter video…
