Running

I've started running. I bought shoes at the Running Room last weekend. I pretend I never spent a thing on them, because I put them on my Visa, and... I'll feel the pain later! $160 ... Yowsers. :kiss

Here's so far:

Mar 28 - went to gym, tried new shoes out on treadmill. Did 1 minute running, 5 minutes walking, for about half an hour. Sides of feet hurt quite bad afterwards.

Mar 30 - am - went for 1/5 run in OLD gym shoes. Feet did not hurt afterward.

June 2 - pm - Dan and I went to the track, and did the RIGHT running, which is supposed to be 1 minute running, then 90 secs. walking, for a total of 20 minutes. I definitely liked my old 1/5 way better! Too bad it was wrong. This was hard. I hope it gets easier, cause I AM sticking with it. I wore my new shoes, hoping running on the track wouldn't cause any visable wear to the shoes and I could return them if need be. My feet didn't hurt afterward though, so maybe I was right, and I just needed some breaking in (my feet and my shoes). Just noting for myself: after my last run, my shins really hurt. I could definitely feel that I did some working out to them. I don't think I've ever felt pain/soreness there before. It's almost gone now,and I don't feel any MORE sore right now, than I did before the run. I kinda feel good.
