Barefoot in January? Am I crazy?

Hey y'all :) Hope you  had a good weekend I know I did!

Some of my workouts last week have been a bit of a fail and due to some circumstances I only went to yoga once this week :(

I was going to go on Saturday but there was an accident on the road so me and my friend couldn't get to the class on time. You know what! I'm kind of glad we didn't go because it was beautiful outside and we went for a jog instead :D

It was strange because it was around 8 degrees out on Saturday? So much for Canadian winter! Of course I didn't have my shoes with me so I went running in... socks...


We just kept running and running in the local park and I was crazy enough to run in this shirt and my short shorts. People kept starring and making comments about a) lack of shoes, b) minimal clothing. The run itself felt good, it felt natural... I definitely went at a pretty low speed but I enjoyed everything that this strangely warm day had to offer. No -20 days, I don't miss you -.-

No wonder people though I was crazy to wear this in January. The picture is from May 2012 though.

Unfortunately, when I finished the run I felt that my calves were a bit sore and they ended up being even more sore on Sunday :( After getting back to my friend's house, I found out that we ran 7km! Wow! I've never run that far barefoot in socks which were completely ripped by the end :S 

After the run we met up with another friend at Panera Bread. I've actually never been so I was uber psyched to try it out. It's supposed to be healthy and all according to my friend and gosh they list the amount of calories in every food item on the blackboard with prices. A little too much? Anyways I got a tuna salad sandwich on wheat and honey bread (haven't had one in ages) and surprisingly got an apple along with it? The bread was soo good and fresh. I pretty much ate the bread and the tuna salad separately (I do that a lot with pizza). As for the tuna salad, it was tasty but not drenched in mayo- they do keep things healthy :D

Afterwards I went to the lab... What else would I do on a Saturday?

My training schedule is now changing as I'm no longer following the run & form drills and strength drills alterations. I'm now including long runs, tempo runs, and regular runs so stay tuned for that ;)

This is what it looked like last week:

Monday	25 min run + 5min plank workout
Tuesday	Strength drills + 5min plank workout
Wednesday	Yoga!
Thursday	25 min run
Friday	Strength drills + 5min plank workout
Saturday	7km barefoot run (~40 min)
Sunday	Rest! <dance to Gangham style with my mom…>
