weekly check-in

[ilanarama]

What, it's almost bed-time (for me, anyway) on Monday and nobody's made a check-in post? I guess I'd better, then. So, what did you do last week? What are you planning for this week? How is your running going?

Here's a quote from Bill Rodgers: Anybody can be a runner... We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

ETA: I'm at a conference so have limited time to respond to comments. So why don't you all encourage each other in the comments? It's what this post is for, anyway!

I have now got a shiny new pair of shoes! (Mizuno, this time, and they feel very light) I went to one of those stores where you run on a treadmill and they video/analyse your gait, which was interesting, and they tried out a few pairs on me - these ones definitely did seem to make my left foot much more stable. I took them out this afternoon for a short run, and so far so good!

Great that your store does this - mine does too. I was having the beginning twinges of plantar fasciitis (the terrible plague of so many runners) when I went to our store to get checked out, and they also took me out of my cheap New Balances (that I randomly bought at the discount sports place) and also put me in Mizunos! I have the Inspire which is my "normal" shoe, and the Elixir for racing half marathons and shorter distances. (And Brooks Adrenaline ASRs for easy trail runs or mixed trail/pavement, and the Salomon Wings XTs I won at a race for technical trail runs...I have a lot of shoes! :-)
