I was pleasantly surprised last Fri when my Mom came to visit and had stopped to pick up an early birthday present for me- new sneakers!! I decided to go back to the original New Balance sneakers I had run my first marathon way back when.
I ran 2.5 miles the night before the Deary Race just to make sure I wouldn't add blisters to my foot problems and they felt great. They felt great during the race and they felt good in the 2 runs I've gotten in this week. My feet don't actually look better but they feel better, which is a start. So I'm going to order a second pair for my training which officially start in 2.5 weeks.
I am getting very excited for training this year. It will hopefully make the time fly by until my husband is scheduled to come home from Iraq. That date has just been moved up by 2 months!!! I have learned though that nothing is a guarantee with the military but I'll relish in the thought that my husband will be home in my arms in 74 days. Here's to passing time...
