Day 2

So my run/walk, jog this morning went well for it being my 1st time running in a LONG while. I feel that I could have done a lot better if I hadn’t got a cramp in my rib. Yes a cramp in my rib (at least that’s where it felt like it was) and it happened immediately as I started to run, so prayerfully tomorrow will go better.
Oh and my newbie run/walk/jog buddy “overslept”! How convenient! LOL! But she said that she will be there tomorrow.
The running group is really great, everyone is really nice. Turns out that one of my closest friends Dad is in the same running group as well. I knew he ran, but didn’t know he was with a group. So it was good to see another familiar face. And my friend girl who told me about the group hung out behind with me as the others left me in the dust. LOL! I can feel the soreness today as well, but I will continue to push through. No Pain, No Gain, right!?!

Today I also went to Fleet Feet and got some new tennis shoes for running. To find out your pronation, they record your feet while having you run on the treadmill for about 15 seconds. It turns out that my pronation was neutral/normal. (If you want to know what pronation is, look it up!) LOL! So I was able to get Nike running shoes! I also bought the Nike sport watch to track how many miles I run/walk/jog as well. If I’m going to do this I need to make sure that I have the proper shoes and equipment. Running, although is great for exercise, is very rough on your body. So please! If you’re going to take up running, please make sure you have the proper shoes. I’m still exciting about running, even after today. I can only get better, right? Guess I’ll find out in the morning.

Before I went to bed I did a Yoga Stretch DVD that I had by Tony Horton, it’s about 10 minutes long and stretched me out ok. I knew I needed to do it because I was very sore when I got home from work, so I really think that helped loosen me up.

So until later!
