my first run was on saturday. i left at 10:00 for my 5.5 miler. i went out my front door and took a left, running to the end of canyon road. i ended up at merle and olson park, where the local farmers market is held. i ran around the park then back up canyon road. i passed my place and continued to first dam. this was when i turned around and went back home.
it was much more difficult then i anticipated. it was frustrating for me when my left knee started tweaking around mile 4. my feet were also covered in hot spots, the inevitable sign of future blisters. i am running in $30 little boys shoes. and they are terrible. i realized after this run that to avoid injury while training i must invest in some real running shoes. donations are being accepted.
this is the shoe i ran in. and it sucked.
this is the shoe i ran my marathon in. and i want them back.
overall this run left me feeling motivated to get back in the groove.
