so i decided that i am going to do a 5k before the year is out. i had running shoes that were the best fit for my foot and gait (or so i thought), had a plan (using the couch potato to 5k plan), and a running partner...or so i thought...lol....we had not even completed the first week and she was already a-wall!
Day One of the plan...i started out doing what it said and about 20 minutes in my arches were killing me...i don't mean just sore, i mean barely able to walk killing me...i got home stretched my feet and thought that once i got used to running, they would stop hurting...kinda like breakin' 'em in, i guess. nope, by the end of the day it was bad, so my wonderful hubby rubbed them...made it worse!
Day Two, you guessed it, didn't happen. I called the place where I had gotten my shoes and told them that yes, i had walked on the treadmill so they could measure my gait and yes, i bought the shoes that were suggested i get, but something had to be wrong. thankfully, the manager told me to bring them in and let him look at them and see what he could do...fast forward one week and i finally got there yesterday. his suggestion was for arch supports that would give me support since i do have pretty high arches.
so, this morning
i must say that reading two post this week has definitely made me want to not only become a runner, but just develop a healthier lifestyle with food...we have a love-hate relationship...i love to eat it, but hate to see where it turns up on my body...if you have a minute read these two great posts and let them know what you think!
