Three weeks ago, I ran four days in a row and it probably wasn't the best idea. My body wasn't ready and I started developing pain in my right hip.
So, I backed off a few days, felt better, then started up again to renewed hip pain. Ouch! I backed off again and decided to investigate new shoes... off to Roadrunners, a complete gait analysis, custom insole and new shoes. Fortunately, I was able to refund/credit my original shoes within their 60-day return policy window - yeah! I then took the remaining week off running and walked 14 miles instead. I hope to start running again this Monday.
Did I mention... my personal goal is to run the entire 13.1 miles. I haven't run a 1/2 marathon in twenty five years. So, I'm raising money to help a group of wonderful people with digestive challenges, including my lovely daughter, plus, on a more personal note, celebrate 25 years with Andras and running in the county (Sonoma) where I used to place in local road races regularly. Deja-vu, maybe, sentiment, absolutely. Who knows, I may run into some of my old, but young at heart, running colleagues. I am so proud to be a part of this entire experience.
