Shoes

Shoes? Running shoes to be specific.  My favorite for the last four years has been Asics. I like their Nimbus line but lately, I tried the 33 line and WOW! Even better! BUT, I bought my first pair of Brooks last week. Brooks Ghost 4.  SUPER CUTE! SUPER COMFY! Now for the real test.....do they fit my feet well during runs?  My first experience out was a bad one - I seemed to get shin splints right away and I was only running two miles. ? And not super fast. ?  I had to give them three tries before I returned them. I wore them yesterday for an even shorter run but the speed was a lot slower and I didn't have any problems at all. I am going to put them to the full test on Sunday for my endurance run and see if they can hold up to their testimony! :)

Super cute, right?! :)

Sunshine!






There is actual sunshine outside. I can't believe it! Ohio and there is sunshine. Oh wait, it's only 43 degrees out there. Looks are so deceiving but at least I can smile with the sun! It should get up to mid 50's today so that won't be as bad as yesterday. Ran 2.64 miles and couldn't handle the wind. My ears hurt too bad. I didn't realize it was as bad as it was until I was already out in the middle of the trail. Dawes. One of my favorite places to run. I have found that running near the lake is very soothing as well. 

So I am sitting here at my desk in my house, researching ideas for Pilates. This class is a personal favorite but still challenges me to come up with new ideas to work the core. My coffee is now cold.....but I am rolling with my thoughts and my research. Too many things at once to describe what I am seeing and feeling. 

Next blog.......training for the HALF! 
 


Running

Well, it's that time of the year.....running! Already been out a couple of times. I have a few clients who have picked up running....and to top it off, I found out today that one of my BFFs is wanting to start running! WOW is all I have for that one! I love my running buddies but to add to it with already existing friends tops it!

Why do you run? I run because it truly is my therapy. I'm sure you have heard the slogan " running is cheaper than therapy", Well, that's for sure! Running outside completely clears your mind . It is so amazing what happens when you actually find that runner high. There is nothing in the world like it. My goal is to run the Columbus Half Marathon this October. My stomach turns when I think about it but I can't stand it! I want it!
