- Quality shoes make such a difference! I wore my old "Easy Spirit" shoes a few times this week for Camp, and those nights my feet were pretty sore from jumping up and down & doing choreography in 2-yr-old shoes.
- Running in 100+ heat index is stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm pretty sure I've already said it, but I'm never doing it again!
- I actually need to eat MORE. Such a change from watching every little thing and counting every calorie, feeling guilty about any indulgences.
- I need to eat HEALTHIER! There is more "healthy" food in my house now than ever before in my life. I think the family may be forced to eat better during my training (maybe this trend could continue after I've done my marathon?).
- Having music to listen to while jogging/walking makes it so much easier. I put almost 100 songs on Shawn's MP3 player and just hit random. I heard everything from Newsboys to the "Footloose" soundtrack this morning during my "long run" day.
- I had a huge smile on my face when I finished my 2 miles today. It felt awesome, and in just one week I noticed a difference between how easy it was to complete in comparison to the mile I did last Saturday. It also helped that I jogged & walked in intervals, but I left my watch at home, so I don't know how long I jogged versus walking.
- I'm enjoying the time I have to be just me, the MP3, and Brooks (shoes). So nice to give my brain a break and to not be "mommy/wife/etc." for a little bit.
- I never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm really enjoying this "running" (jog/walk). I should have picked this up a long time ago!
Until next time...
