First run- for the husband and the Karhu's...

The husband had his first official training run this morning!
 He did awesome and I know he just loved it.

See- look at how excited he was to get going...
 He loves getting up at 5:30am.
He just doesn't know it yet.

I also got to try out the Karhu shoes!
 They seem to make my feet look huge, but they fit very well.
This was my first run in these bad boys.
I love how they look and they felt good.

The husband's training plan starts him at 3 miles-
so that's what we did.
 He really did great, especially with our neighborhood hills.
I kept giving him pep talks about how it will get easier.
I know he loved that.

I asked if he wanted to make it an even 5k...
he said no :).
(early morning runner face is what I have here- not so cute)

Day 1- DONE.

As far as the shoes go, they definitely felt different than my
regular running shoes- my legs will have to adjust.
The Karhu Fulcrum technology is designed to get you running
on your mid to forefoot...
or as it is stated on the Karhu website:
"Our patented fulcrum technology collaborates with the foot to convert a runner’s energy into efficient forward momentum."

I definitely felt that happening- and I liked it!
I felt like my feet could really breathe
and they didn't feel heavy at all.
Excited to try them out again tomorrow!
