My obsession with running started nearly a year ago when two of my older sisters and my girlfriend ran a St. Patrick's Day 5k. Since I was not in any kind of shape to run 3.1 miles, I stood at the finish line and cheered them on. I was extremely proud of them for running their first 5k race but I felt a bit of embarrassment that I was not able to run with them. The next day I went for my first real run and have not looked back since.
running shoe collection |
In the past year I have purchased just about everything imaginable in running gear (reviews to come). I have now accumulated 12 pairs of running shoes, everything from "normal" built up running shoes, to Vibram FiveFingers and everything in between (plan to review them all here). I have read several running books and countless blog post on running. I have gone from a hard heel striker to a soft mid foot striker (posts on my transition). I have encountered several injuries in both legs along the way. I will post on how I injured myself and how to avoid my many mistakes. I will post about some of my past races and past breakthrough moments as well as my future goals. Once the weather warms I will be doing my first ever trail runs and posting about my experiences in this new running endeavor. I will also be running my first marathon in late September and my first ultra race in mid November. I will have lots to post on the training in the months to come. Stay tuned for all things running!
