I've been at this for 3 weeks now. Blogging, dailymile.com logging my runs and committing to my purpose and my three goals. Some days are much harder than others. There are many factors involved: lack of sleep, other priorities and then there is the occasional 'I hadn't planned on THAT happening!" that occur and oh, how things get in the way!
But I have persevered and made this work. Some days are not in balance, and sometimes there is not even balance to the week ... but I have so much more energy (not to mention aches and pains!) and feel so accomplished! I have run18 miles for each of the last two weeks, and 25 the week before that. My longest run prior to 2013 was 3.5 miles .. and now I have consistently 5 miles at least 2 days per week. Sometimes back to back days! I can do this!
I was having issues with the new Saucony running shoes that the salesman said my feet were screaming out for, and so I returned them. I was then fitted for a pair of Brooks. I thought, 'what the heck, I'll give them a try."
After my five miles today I have a blister on one foot and my toes on the other foot ached during the last two miles from moving around in the shoe.
I went online and found eFootwear which sells my model of Saucony's!!! I ordered a pair in my size and can't wait for them to arrive. I know I'm a creature of habit, but I can't stand to think about how well my Saucony's fit and how awful my feet have felt ever since!
Here's the photo of the new Brooks. Cute, huh? Like a great pair of high heels. Looks great, hurts like heck!
