So, today I went out and spent more money on running equipment then I have ever done in my life. The biggest accomplishment. New Shoes. Granted, I have purchased new running shoes before. The shoes that I bought this time, while being more expensive then the normal pair of shoes of any type that I ever buy, but the lady at the running shop looked at my feet, the wear on my shoes, and how I walk and jogged to help me pick out the right type and size of shoe for me. I overpronate when I run and I have flat feet. I knew both of these things. But these shoes are for people with the same problem. Needless to say I am excited to try them out.
I also purchased some running cloths. I mean, shorts and tees are good for warm weather, but when it is 20 degs outside, you need something to keep you kinda warm. Tomorrow will be the test if it actually works, or if I wasted money. But, the stuff that I have that is warm, is not stuff to run in. The stuff that I have to run in, is not warm. Hopefully this is both.
I am anxious to see if I keep up with it this time. I think I will. Last time, I started running with no goal other then to lose weight and get in shape. Now, I am running for more. I am running to better myself in all aspects.
I am waking up early tomorrow to go on the first run. New neighborhood, new clothes, new shoes, new outlook.
I am not running for speed, I am running for me.
