    Got my new shoes from RunningWarehouse in today. Brooks Ravenna 2 in size 12.5. I mention the size because I’ve been wearing a 12 and having some numbness issues so I went up the half size. The shoes feel great in the house. Doing a 5k tomorrow so I’ll know real fast how my feet…

    So the past week and a half or so have been pretty slippery!  Indianapolis got a nice little ice storm that made last week a pretty light running week.  Only made two treadmill workouts and a strength training class as part of the YMCA training program.  My foot went numb on the treadmill again!  Ugh…

    I’ve finished up the second week of the YMCA Mini Marathon training program. All I have to say is UGH! Monday’s run was a quick two miles.  Not bad.  Wednesday was use being timed and put in to pace groups.  I was, somehow, one of the first dozen or so to finish.  Since I’ve run…

    I’ve finished up the first week of the YMCA’s Mini-Marathon training program that I randomly decided to sign up for.  Part of the decision was based on having a $50 coupon to the YMCA, part based on wanting to be more social (in running and life..), and part on having a structured plan. With the…

    On 1-11-11 I went go to see the premier of Hood to Coast, a movie about the relay race of the same name.  Basically, the relay race has teams of 12 running from Mount Hood to the Pacific ocean – a distance of about 197 miles. I went to see the movie at the GQTI…

    I’m still slowly easing myself back in to running.  Tonight was a 25 minute run, and it’s just the second time that I’ve done that.  My legs are feeling a little sore from all the time off as my muscles get stronger, but it’s not pain like before.  I’ve been working out at the YMCA…

    Those Brooks Cascadia shoes that I ordered in October? I ended up not liking them after all.  I sent them back to Brooks on November 10, they received them on the 17th.  I emailed them on November 29 and December 1 asking where my money was.  They finally replied on the 1st and said they…

    So I haven’t really run for nearly four weeks.  I went to a physical therapy place that is attached to the YMCA.  I gave them the prescription and did my initial appointment, but, for some reason, they only scheduled me for 3 followup appointments.  I didn’t even get an appointment that entire week after Thanksgiving…

    I tried to go out for a run on Tuesday, 10 days after the Monumental Half.  I had gone the whole 10 days wearing an Ace bandage or Zensah compression sleeve.  I had bought “The Stick” and tennis balls and a foam roller and used them all.  I had used the rowing machine and stationary…
