I'm also wearing my VFF's today at work. I got the black Sprints, so they kind of look like odd Mary Jane's anyway. My H said that people will think I'm weird. As an engineer, that's actually a career benefit, so I'm ok with it.
Yay! Congrats on your new feets. I love mine. I got the fever from reading posts by TE girls, and VFFs have been a miracle for my challenged tootsies.

So, I was supposed to do five today, and ten tomorrow.
My excuse: What I was going to do was just merge Thursday (was supposed to do 3) with today, and do eight yesterday, from my house down to the park and ride, where I'd left my truck with my stuff, so I could go change at the Y before a dentist appt. But it was 2 degrees and 40 mph winds yesterday so I wimped out and did a half hour on the trainer spinning away instead, then weights and stretching for another half hour, and then the Mister drove me down to the truck. I'm such a wimp. So this morning I woke up and it was still 2 degrees. I figured I'd do three. I felt like my body was made of broken pencils, it was so effing cold. But I did it.

So today my daughter and I took the bus into the city as we are seeing Avatar later on, and we left the truck at the Park and Ride that is ten miles away. My DH is coming up to the movie and so tomorrow he and I will run and get the truck, no matter what the temps.

I like this whole commute-by-run part of running. It gives the planner in me something to do.
