Today is the first day of training and I am excited! I went to Luke's Locker yesterday and bought some new running shoes...retro Nike Pegasus. These were a must if I'm going to commit to run eight miles! I gave them a try last night and today my legs are so sore. Just goes to show how out of shape I am! Anyway, here is a picture of my cute shoes!
I met one of the running teachers while I was there and she had a few great tips:
- If you can't carry on a conversation while you're running, you are running too fast.
- Don't worry about your time, just finish the course.
- Make sure and wear good running shoes...these make all the difference. Plus, you can do damage to your feet and even lose toenails (not a good look for summer!) if you're shoes don't fit right.
- Be sure to rest on your rest days. If your muscles don't have time to heal, you're not likely to increase your endurance and time.
- Eat...my personal favorite! Make sure and eat a protein bar or some form of carbs before you work out!
Can't wait to hear all about your running!
