Training in the new shoes

Hi. I had to break down and buy new shoes today. Glad I did it. 100% difference in the run today. Ran at 5:00 and it was 80 degrees out! I know right! I only went the Family 5K route...mainly to break in the shoes and partly because my time was so limited.

Cool things that I am noticing include: I am getting less and less side aches. I think it's because I am working on my core...and breathing. Also, I can run and breathe through my nose a lot. My lungs are much stronger. My legs feel strong.

I did a 4 mile run yesterday which was hard for some reason. Not really sure why that is. Actually the last two days have been hard.

I am working up to 6 miles. Soon, coming soon people.

Ha! I started reading this and thought, "Well, I didn't know Dad was getting side aches!" And then I realized.....it is Angie!

Hey lady!

I'm glad you like your shoes. That is great.

Practice is a great thing. You will keep getting stronger inside and out!

You can do it! I KNOW it!

Hey, you're doing great! You ran 3 miles to break in shoes? That's my total goal - 3 miles!

I see that my stake up there on 180th has disappeared over the winter so will have to replace that.
