Kiki8123's Journal, 19 April 2014

Went to the gum this am. A little trouble on the elliptical as the two machines I got on didn't want to cooperate. I like to increase my height of steps and it just wasn't working. So, after 18 frustrated minutes, I switched to the treadmill. I've always had a problem with shin splints so really stretched. Seems to have worked as I had no problem. Kept increasing my pace and towards the end of my 45 minutes was still feeling strong and decided to try to run (well, jog) in 2 minute intervals at 5.0. Was feeling energized and strong and thinking, maybe I can be a runner! Until the bottoms of my feet began to hurt again. I could feel the blisters start to come back. I almost pushed it just because I was feeling so good and wasn't tired, but thought better of it as I recalled last weekend when this happened and it was hard to walk for the next 3-4 days, putting a damper on my workout. I left the gym (after an hour!) and went directly to Sports Authority to check on some new insoles for shoes. While there, the sales person advised me that the shoes I've been wearing (while still good) are called cross trainers and are for things like Zumba classes and moving laterally. I needed running shoes (moving front to back) if I were going to be doing more walking and jogging. Once I tried on the new running shoes, I could immediately tell the difference in the amount of cushion they provide.

So, I am the proud owner of a new pair of running shoes, and bought some new insoles for my still good cross trainer shoes. I'm actually excited to go to the gym tomorrow!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

If only frustration burned calories. I'd have never put on my initial weight.
