Lately I have been on a bit of a running hiatus. I really do enjoy running but have a tendency to not be as motivated unless I have something to train for. The past two weeks I have been working to get on track (no pun intended) running wise since I am participating in a 10 mile run in less than 2 months Yikes! I have been running the gym during the winter because I don't like running when it is cold! I am here to tell you that treadmill running is WAY different than road running. I went out for my first outdoor run this past Monday and I FELT it big time. I also felt my feet not being very happy. It was then that I realized I had these running shoes since November of 2007 and they have WAY too many miles on them and barely any cushion left! I went on Zappos and ordered the most current model of my shoe and they were delivered to my house in two days! While yesterday I thought it would be better to have a rest day after a 5 mile run on Monday and a tough spin class on Tuesday. The surprise warm sunny day and the brand new running shoes were calling my name. I gave in and enjoyed a nice 4 mile run in my brand new shoes. There is nothing like running in a brand new pair of shoes, it is like running on clouds! It made me really hope that spring and warmer weather gets here soon, so I am more motivated to get outside, feel the sunshine on my face, and run my stresses away!
