Tired Legs

Last night was another long night. After the gym, I ran some errands. I didn't get home until about 8 and then I had to do some stuff around the house (shower, eat, and things like that). By the time I was able to sit down and relax (for the 1st time), it was about 10.

One of the things I did when I got home was, make granola bars. I didn't have time to cut them up before bed, but they're waiting for my in the fridge (which I'll cut up soon). I love these in bite size pieces and in plain or vanilla greek yogurt. It's the best!


Hubs didn't sleep well last night. Which means, I didn't sleep well last night. I finished work and didn't really want to get my 6 miles in, but that's what happened last week, too. I laced up and went for a run. It was in incredibly slow run, but it was 4 miles! I think that if I run with tired legs, it will give me a preview of what my legs may feel like during my 1st half. If I can run with tired legs now, maybe I'll be use to it then (for my 1st half next month). I do give myself plenty of rest and I always ice and stretch afterwards.

When I got home, my shoes came off flying. Tonight is going to be an easy night. More chicken sandwiches for dinner and some catching up on the dvr.

I'm thinking about getting new shoes tomorrow. What brand is everyone wearing now? These are Mizunos. I love them, but I think they're cramping my toes and may be causing my blisters on my toes. I'm thinking either the same brand or Brooks (just a bigger size).

2 More Miles Down

After work, I headed straight to the gym, excited to see how far my knee would allow me to run. I managed to get 2 miles out of this old thing. If I keep progressing like this, I will be back on track in no time. I'm hoping to be able to progress be at least 1/2 mile each day.

I know I should be excited to see my progress, but I just keep thinking about how many miles I was running before all this happened. I can't wait to get out on the road and test out my new reflective gear I got for (an early) x-mas. I don't want to run on the road until I can run some decent miles (and not have to walk back).

Here are my legs after running tonight. Not sure why I took this picture, but here's the gear I wore to the gym. I have my Mizuno shoes, Addias socks, ace brace, Nike capris and an off brand (Old Navy) tank.

What is your favorite piece of running gear? Mine is my mp3 player, can't leave the house without it.
