Running again

It's official. I'm running again. Collin started running and got me motivated this time. Tomorrow morning will be my last run for week 5 of couch to 5k. It's 20 minutes. I'm feeling good about that now, but...we'll se tomorrow :)
When I started running before(almost 3 years ago! WOW!) I had horrible shin splints that never got better. And I even had new shoes. That is why I stopped running and started biking. But I just wasn't getting the great work out I had been getting. So I went back to running and that is when I got a stress fracture in my foot. If you ever get a chance to have a stress fracture...go ahead and pass that up!

ANYWAY, I've run off and on since then, but never sticking with it. But I'm glad to be sticking with it this time. AND I have new shoes that help me with my running. I LOVE THEM! I had no idea you could run shin splint free!! ARE YOU KIDDING!? This is great! I found out I'm a supinator(or under pronator) and it has made all the diference in the world to know that.

Wish me luck tomorrow...if anyone is still reading this! Oops! :)
