I am so proud to announce this - I have worn out my first pair of running shoes! I've been having some shin splints the last few runs and figured it was because I was working on my speed. Well, my long, slow run day came and the pain was so unbearable that I cut it a mile short and walked most of it. I decided it was probably time for a new pair of shoes, just in case that was the cause.
Now, I'm pretty sure it was. When comparing the new and old pair, I was able to bend the toe on old one almost 90 degrees; the new shoe I could barely get to 15 degrees. Now I just need this injury to heal so I can get back to building mileage.... Because we have a race to run!
Ronnie has been selected to represent Osan AB and run the Air Force Marathon at Wright-Patterson in September! I can't tell you how proud I am of him. The girls and I are flying out to cheer him on. Anyway, there is a 5K distance on Friday before the marathon, and a 10K that I'm kicking around the notion of running if I can get someone to watch the girls since it's at the same time as the marathon.
Now to just get these shoes broken in and we'll be in business!
