Monday 3/23.. Let's try running again

So, I haven't been running in a long time. All of running these days consists of being late or short sprints when I work out with CJ.

My knees have been feeling pretty good and I've been feeling like I need more exercise, so I ran after work briefly today.

This is no huge accomplishment as I'm no runner. I'm just happy to not experience pain.

I ran to the cemetery and back with a short break in-between. This run was about 10 minutes long.

Previously, my right shin would ache right below the knee. This began to be a pattern that only happened at the mile mark. Then later it decreased to just .8 of a mile. Then it decreased to less and I stopped wanting to run.

I thought about seeing a doctor for the issue, but so far I haven't. I probably should get new running shoes. Until then, I concentrate on my form more than on how fast I'm going or how far. I try to hit my butt with my heel on every stride and to only hit the ground with the ball of my foot.

So far, so good.

  1. This is cool! Tell me everything about how I can get rid of my flabby arms and stomach!

    Also, if you keep running, let me know if you want to go for a long(er) run!

    Oh and BTW this is Amy (Kim)
