HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Considering the weeks off since I had to take time to adjust for my arch supports, I didn’t expect a good run.  In fact, I hadn’t even thought about running this year until I realized I was fifteen minutes from sunrise (8:14 this week).  I jumped into my clothes and got out on the pavement, which was icy and forced me to walk at first.  Nevertheless, I faced down the new year and got off my keester.

The Run: 

Cranky.  I felt like my knees had been stored in a box for a month.  It took the entire run to loosen up, but the good news is that I had no shin trouble, and the arch supports now feel completely natural.  I might have run farther, but not knowing I was going to run I had downed a full glass of O.J. and a coffee in the half hour before.
