Merry Christmas

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know I did. I got a lot of things from my list. I am pretty excited to try them out. I got lots of new running socks and a new sports bra.

My workout yesterday went like this: 4 minutes on the bike=.5 mi, then 3.5 mi running at 5.7 and then .25 mi of cool down at 3.5. I was feeling pretty good and worked up a good sweat. I am so excited to get back on my training schedule and to prepare for the Mini!!

I wanted to write here that I typically run in Saucony Ride (they are the white/black/orange in pic). I am a neutral and prefer a lot of cushion after my leg surgery. I have also love the Saucony Triumph and have had the 5 and 6 (both pictured). They have less cushion, but feel like pillows. I have also liked the stability of the Mizuno Creation. I hear this is a love it or hate it shoe. I have liked it because I am a bit of a heel striker...thus allowing the shock to be absorbed through the wave plate that runs the full length of the shoe. I have had one other pair of mizunos and was impressed. I ran in a pair of Asics cumulus and they were cushiony, but had a hard time after 3 miles outside. Still not sure why. I have attempted to run in Brooks Adrenaline, I think, but they rubbed the top part of my foot and just didn't fit right. So, if there are any questions about shoes, I am your gal. I worked briefly in a high end shoe store and have had happy feet, legs and back ever since! :)

Today is my day off...I look forward to hitting the road tomorrow if it isn't too dark or cold. Winter in Indiana is a little crazy to forecast. Happy Running!!
