1. Shoes. My shoes are at 200+ miles. At 300 miles it's time for new shoes. I have a feeling I'm going to go through shoes a lot faster. And since I overpronate and wear orthotics, I get the extra cushiony stability shoes which cost ALOT. Of course. That's why I try to get as many miles as possible.
My shoe closet doesn't compare with my husband's:
I'm in so much trouble for posting this picture. But you have to see it to believe it.
2. Heat. It's been exceptionally hot. Too hot. Running in the heat has been unbearable and that's when I'm running in 70 degree weather at 6:00 am. Looks like next week will be better.
3. Tired. I've noticed that as I do morning runs, and more miles, I'm getting really tired by the end of the week. Heck, by Wednesday I'm exhausted at 7:00 p.m. I can't get to bed any earlier, either. The kids go to bed by 9:00, and I need time to unwind. It's just not enough sleep to keep me going. I have to figure out how to get more sleep. This is also why I haven't been updating the blog. Cause I'm tired, people.
4. De-stress. I've noticed that when I come home from a particularly stressful day from work the thing I want most to do is run. I think running outside makes a big difference. Just go out the door and start running down the street. Let my mind wander, or just look around. Or put on some kick-ass tunes.
Now enjoy some kick-ass running tunes:
