Did you know that your running shoes have a certain number of "miles" you can put on them before you need a new pair? I had no idea! They are like little cars for your feet if you think about it. So basically every 300-500 miles that you put on your running shoes you should change them. At approx 250 miles you will start to feel the wear and tear from your shoes in ways such as: back, knee, feet, or shin pain. You are supposed to keep a log of each of your runs and in this log you include the time it took to run, how long you ran, and how the run felt. This will help you know if your shoes need to be traded in. I just ordered my first pair of running shoes the other day and I can't wait to put my first miles on them!
So today I had the worst nights sleep ever! Yes I did say TODAY and NIGHT in the same sentence:) I work nights so your today is my nighttime. Anyway I woke up at 3:00pm and decided that I was not going to run today. I had made up my mind...I had barely slept and I just didn't feel like getting up and running the bridge. Shortly after my running partner texted me and told me to get up and "Run Princess Run...I felt the instance sting of guilt..I was gonna try to sneak out my run and here was my running partner busting her butt while I was trying to be lazy! So...very unenthusiastically I put on my running shoes and hit the bridge!
It actually was an amazing run! I ran the entire bridge without stopping which I have not done yet! I also ran a little more than the bridge cause I ran down the sidewalk on 98 too:) So that was exciting! I felt a great sense of accomplishment after..even though I could not breath..what does that matter I had done it! I am back to where I was before I stopped running! Now I feel a great sense of confidence that I needed.. I know that I can accomplish this goal..I think I found my motivation! :)
Until Saturday...(5 miles of running glory)
Peace out little Debbies...and Run like a Princess:)
