Oh man, I got two new pairs of running shoes....one sucked from the get go but I tried to run 6 miles with another pair...legs felt weird, hip was yelping too much but by the end of the 6 miles, my little toes..baby wee toes were SCREAMING!!! So guess what? I'm returning both pairs. I need to find the perfect running shoes before November 6. Damn it! It's going to be an endless search, I guess. I have been searching for years. Always think that I found THE pair and then somehow it turns out to be a dud. My feet hurt today, as I mentioned before. Oh well, that's life.
What a great run tho. My garmin died so I just ran what I estimated was about 6 miles. Mapped my run on mapmyrun and yep, it was exactly 6 miles in maybe an hour and 3 minutes or so. Not bad. I felt good, sans the sore feet....the weather was a bit humid, but cool. I just made my way up 2nd Avenue to 86th Street then over to 3rd and home. I grabbed an amNY from some dude and read it at the red lights. I have to say that's the biggest drag about running on the streets, traffic lights, cars that won't stop at the crosswalk, pedestrians. I just can't run the same East River route every day. It's a drag. The gym is good for shorter runs since Jon is there and I can chat with him. That's tomorrow.
Jon suggested a great thing to curb the sweet cravings. Freeze jello and eat it with fruit. Wow, it was awesome. I didn't do the sugar free because the asparatame is disgusting. Talk about gas!!! How cute is that? Sweating hot flashes, farting, wrinkles and grey hair. Not a cute look at all!! LOL, anyway, I am trying to stick to this metabolism boosting regime. Weights three times a week, eating better....I should be able to unload some of this extra weight. I weighed myself this morning and was down three pounds...probably water weight. Am drinking loads of water....trying to get it together before November.
Good luck to me....hope I find a new pair of kicks soon. I miss my buddy, Lisa.
