Sorry I haven’t updated in a while… I really had nothing to blog about in regards to running, since I haven’t been running at all the past few weeks. I have been very careful with my knee, but this past weekend I decided it is time to get back into it! I finally went out to the Runner’s Grove and got my running shoes (excitement!!). The knowledgeable sales rep helped me select a pair of Mizuno Alchemy motion control shoes, and they are pretty killer… check them out!
After purchasing my shoes, I went online and registered for the Hot Chocolate 5K that is being held on November 5th. I will be running this race with Andrea (who is probably gonna kill me in time because she runs allllllll the time), but it will feel great to complete my first run. It can only get better from there, right? P.S. Is anyone else running the Hot Chocolate 15/5K? Let me know if you are!
Ok, so the plan for today is to get back on that horse and start training. I have a combo of stretching, biking, and running that I’m going to do in order to pace myself and [hopefully] not injure myself again. Wish me luck!
This is awesome! Hopefully this will motivate me to start running again as well :) Also, I noticed you mentioned combining bike with running because of your knee? Biking is actually not very good for anyone with knee problems, but swimming will definitely strengthen your entire body (including your knee) and will help your stamina and breathing tremendously. You should definitely try it :)
