New Shoes

Yesterday, hubby and I bought new running shoes. I have been suffering with some hip pain and believe it to be because of my form. I tend to heal strike, yeah, I know that is not good but that is what I know. I bought a pair of Newton Stability Trainers. Yes, they are pricey but, I think they are going to work out well.

We did a short two-mile run today. It was a slow 24 minute 2 miles. We did walk part of it.I am not acclimated to the heat and really loathe being hot but I ran outside anyway. I am just going to have to suck it up and do it. After we ran we went to the gym to work on strength training.

Slug

Dang, I am such a slug! I had the day free yesterday and did nothing! All I wanted to do was hang around the house. I did however get the grocery store. Today a front rolled in and I could feel it in my neck. Wow, was it stiff. I was thinking of going to the gym and hit a yoga class but I don't know if I'll make it.

I am starting this blog to hold myself accountable to a healthy lifestyle. More particularly, I am training for my first half-marathon and I am having a hard time getting my run on in this oppressive heat! The treadmill just doesn't do it for me, can't get my head right and not think about what I am doing and just run.

I have struggled with my weight for many years, it would go up and it would come down, now that I am hitting that mid-forty time I want to stabilize my weight and run!

I run with a Nike Sport Band and my shoes are ASICS GT 2150. I would really like to work on my mechanics and build up speed.
