Is it True?

If this is the case....then i am well on my way in the New Year!

Happy 2012!!!

Running Shoes...and 7miles...

I actually ran 7miles today in my training for the half-marathon training and amazingly i finished.

I continue to be proud of my body, my mind and myself.

I continue to wish me many many more miles.

One of the most important thing you can have for your run is definitely running shoes. 

I have heard many stories about how many shoes you should go through.

But i am still NOT sure.

Currently i have three pairs of runnings shoes. Two i use for my weekday runs. And one i safe for my weekend long runs.  I probably need to get another pair for the long runs just to give it a break.

Can you have too many shoes...

How many shoes do you have for running?

Challenging Myself...

This week i definitely pumped myself up and i was able to do very well with my running and eating.  Sure i had a few mishaps at a friend's birthday party and a work training, however overall, it was a good week.  A back on the back.

Working out was also excellent i must say.  I ran at 5.5miles for 25 minutes at 10.45pace.  Everytime i believe i can't.   I can and i did.  Everytime i didn't want to get up, i did and i ran.  Everytime i didn't want to run, i ran and enjoyed it.  It burned and i loved my body because it did what i thought was impossible.

I am learning that my body won't give up on me during my run unless i give up on myself first.

In stretching my back today i was able to do this (which i haven't been able to do in AGES!):



And then this:



And now i am practicing this pose (although my arms won't be that straight as of yet):



I have a renewed interest in my health which i am excited about.
 If i treat my body good, it will treat me good in turn!
