Huge step.

footprints 

Do you see it there, stamped in the sloppy muddy mess?

That’s right baby, footprints; her paws, my trail shoes.

I don’t know who was more excited but I was pretty stinkin’ pumped!

It’s been many weeks of short, slow walks and we’ve both been frustrated.

However today I tied up my trail shoes and went on a 5 minute (yes minute, not mile…grrr) run down my dirt road.

Piper was interested in speed work; I was simply focused on slow and stable foot placement.

Truthfully I’m dying to resume my regular 10+ mile runs….but for now this felt amazing!

Stress fractures, get thee behind me…..
