I really wanted to be that person that would set a goal and stick with it, but with the week I had, it was hard to even concentrate, let alone blog. I know running is suppose to put things into perspective and it is a natural anti-depressant, but I did not do any of that in the last week (or two). I have totally neglected my half marathon training and I feel horrible. It's been about two weeks since I've had a decent run and I just feel like I'm starting over again. Every time I stop, it's always like starting over. I could fill this entry with words of what happened and why, but right now I'm going to focus on today, right now and the future. Now it's a matter of going back to basics so what I plan on doing now is incorporating my workouts in my training routine, which I should have done from the beginning. I would, however, like to share a picture. The picture below is my first pair of running shoes I owned and actually ran in. I used to wear running shoes just for the style (which I quickly gave up after my high school years), so when I bought these, I literally felt great and I wanted to achieve something active in my life. I bought these shoes when they were on sale at DSW and I have loved them ever since. Why I went from these to Nike Free Run 3.0, I don't know, but yesterday I did a light jog with my boyfriend (in 100 degree temperatures) and I felt great. My feet, my shins, my knees -- it's like I forgot what support felt like. So here you go, my first pair of running shoes:
I ran my first 5k in these shoes and I have a feeling they will take me a long way, especially since right now I can't afford to get new shoes. I hope, after today's post that I will get back on track and continue to post about my workouts and half training marathon sessions.
Till next time!
