  1. I am signed up for the Chicago marathon. This year I will run my first and second marathon. I am so excited and scared. I can't wait!

  2. RUN
    Bay lands out and back 4.26 mi 00:38 08:55 pace

    I feel splints :/

  3. RUN
    alright Cascadia Test Run 1 mi 00:08:20 08:20 pace

    I think I like them, and they played well with my orthotics. I just don't run enough trails to justify this purchase.
    Also, I wish I could keep this pace up for longer than 3 miles.

  4. RUN
    alright 2 mi 00:21 10:15 pace

    I have blisters from my orthotics. Even with body glide and my favorite socks. meh. I'm not sure what to do.

      Sounds like you may have too much correction in the inserts. You may want to try customized.

      I was getting pain in my achilles after playing soccer, so I got custom orthotics made by my doctor. I think that maybe I should try a neutral shoe or use super feet in my runners and keep the orthotics for my cleats. I don't have any issues with them when I wear them for soccer.

      Some sort of miss-match with the built-in arch support between the two shoes seems to be happening. A different approach on the runners seems to be in order.

      I love my adrenalines, but I think you're right. Different shoes may be the trick.

  5. RUN
    great Baylands trail 3.1 mi 00:26 08:19 pace

    This was supposed to be an easy 30 minutes with a dog I take on Wednesdays.
    She was chomping at the bit and the pace felt great. I did stop twice because I was running on fire roads and SOMEtimes ... read more

    good Soccer 01:10

    soccer!
    I ran 1.6 miles in 25 minutes of the first half. I got their late then my garmin malfunctioned. I'm going to try to use it again next Monday. My lungs did NOT like the cold air, but I felt... read more

    good Soccer game! 01:00

    felt good to be back, but my fitness level is not where it should be. Lots of work to do. Fun fun!

    good Ashtanga Yoga 01:30

    Ashtanga is a challenge, and I haven't done much yoga in the past year so I am surprised that I still remembered the feeling of the poses. My right ankle decided to cramp up though and I nearly fel... read more

    good Shed and SHRED with Jillian 00:30

    oh my goodness that was hard

  10. RUN
    good gym run 1 mi 00:09:00 09:00 pace

    Trying to find the right combo of shoe and orthotic for longer runs. My normal shoe with my orthotic is over supportive and making my IT bands ache. I might try the ds trainers next.

  11. RUN
    good Dreadmill 3 mi 00:27 09:00 pace

    I was giving up on my run for today, but my other coaxed me to the gym and once I started I was determined to finish 3.

  12. RUN
    good 3 mile run with some bleachers 3.5 mi 00:36 10:10 pace

    I ran a mile to warm up and cool down then did one mile with bleachers. It helped with my form but man I felt slow after running down.

  13. RUN
    good Newtons: please calves don't ... 1 mi 00:08:31 08:31 pace

    My lungs feel tight.
    I felt no foot or achilles pain.
    This is going to be a long journey.
    Gotta take it one mile at a time.

  14. Resting the achilles. My doctor got approved to make my orthotics. Happy feet! I can't wait for running better and faster after training this year.
