Feelin' Good...

My shoes finally came yesterday! I had just woken up from a nap when I heard my door bell ring. I jumped out of bed and ran to the door. I almost puked on the delivery guy when I got there. It was worth it though. I immediately slipped them on, stretched a little, and headed for the gym. With my new workout accessories I felt so ready to set my workout plan into effect. I utilized some tips that I picked up from Runnersworld.com. I made sure to firmly plant my feet on the treadmill, stand up straight looking ahead and not down, and pumped my arms at my side instead of across my body. I also read somewhere else that its best to breath with your mouth closed. That seemed to help me out a lot. I wasn't as winded as I normally would be. Oh, back to the shoes. They are really comfortable. I didn't have the leg aches and pain in my feet after my work out. I was even able to run a mile. Check me out right! This seems like the start of something beautiful.

  1. YAY! happy for your shoes! I had to get some new ones till i get the ones i left at your house. I have been going to the gym 3 times a week. Well, i have only been 3 times but i just started. I haven't started running yet but i am using more weight machines, so i hope i get stronger. I don't have a set goal just yet.
