Better?

At this point the hardest part besides not being in 'running' shape is the mental part of running. I am having trouble pushing myself past thinking I am tired and getting back into the swing of things. Today was by the far the best I felt since I started running again...hopefully Wednesday will pass that as well.

The only bad part was I felt some mild foot pain however I am going to start wearing my inserts everyday and do a better job stretching so hopefully I can get it before it gets as bad as it was. Otherwise nothing is new...

Day 1

So today was officially the 1st day back running. The schedule I'm trying calls for lifting and stretching on Monday and I added a little dog walking just for grins so today the first day I ran...well tried to run. You see I've been working out, drinking milk (actually I don't like milk) and getting strong (7 year old boy strong) but I'm not in running shape. I knew it would take a while to get my legs back so I started slow. I did run/walk intervals for about 2 miles...but it was pain free. Today was a good day...

Keep on keepin' on.

Hope...

To misquote what is quite possible the best movie of all time..."Get busy running or get busy dieing".

After an arch support and a stupid pad I may have finally found something that allows me to run pain free...at least I hope so. The past 3 nights I have ran a little while walking the dog and have had no ill effects. So hopefully I'll start my come back next week. There will be stretching and bitching but hopefully I'll be pain free.

I never should've let me old running shoes get that bad...lesson learned.
