Yesterday I went for an awesome run around in my neighborhood. I went roughly 3 miles and felt great. This morning my legs felt a LITTLE sore but it didn't stop me from heading out to Liz's house and running another 5. I am going to go out for a few more runs in the next week or so and talk to Liz (my running buddy also training for Cleveland half) to decide what our training for our spring race will look like....
In the meantime I am in DESPERATE need of new running shoes, I have had mine since last year and because I had given up on my running for a while (just got busy with our wedding and the 20 others I went to in 2011), I never got new ones..... ANYONE who is a runner knows this is the cardinal rule - TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET.... I won't go more than 5 miles on my old ones for SURE.... even that is bad.
Anyone, who is thinking about running just as an FYI, you should change your shoes every 400-500 miles and if you are a little heavier change them closer to 400 miles...
For now, I am wearing Brooks Stability shoes (Ravenna 2)
I have been running with the Ravenna 2, since I started running 2 years ago. I literally buy the SAME shoe every time I need new ones.
I will go out and buy these same shoes in the next week or so but then I think I will switch it up in the spring and try something lighter. I am afraid to get lighter shoe with less support NOW because I still need to lose some weight and I don't want to get injured because I am putting too much weight on my knees.... I am pretty loyal to the Brooks brand so I am pretty sure I will just go to a local running store and get fit for a lighter Brooks....
OK - well gotta go get ready to go out to dinner for my father-in-law's birthday!! :)
