So yesterday Greg took off a half day from work and we went to Jon's Run Walk Shop to find a new pair of running shoes for MOI! FUN TIMES! I found out several random things about myself - first of all my right foot is a little larger than an 8 and my left foot is barely a 7 1/2. Secondly, I supernate - which means I stand/lean on the outer sides of my arch/feet. This of course impacts the way I run/wear out shoes. I tried on about 7 pairs of shoes. This may sound funny, but I am not a fan of all white tennis shoes. I ended up with a silver pair by Mizuno that are comfortable and stylish! Greg made me go outside and run up and down the alley in them - I was NOT dressed for this! We purchased the shoes and made our way to Target. I found a couple of running shorts/capris and two more shirts. One pair of shorts are kelly green with a white and fuschia stripe - SO ME! I've never been one of those girls who had "workout" clothes. I simply wore old t-shirts and shorts to run/workout. But it is nice to have a few things to wear, especially for upcoming races.
Right now these are the races I am planning to run this year:
May 8 -Activate America 5 mile race in Frankfort
June 11 - Proactive 5K in Frankfort Register here: http://www.proactivetherapy.org/RegForm2010-F1.pdf
July 4- Bluegrass 10K More info here: http://www.lexingtonky.gov/index.aspx?page=235
August 14- Midsummer Night's Run 5K in Lexington
September 12 - Half Marathon in Chicago
I made add one or two more, but I think these are pretty ambitious for now!
Happy running!
