1) I ordered a foam roller from Amazon last night. When I have to choose between running outside or running on the treadmill at the gym, the deciding factor lately has been being able to use a foam roller when I go to the gym. I’m hating the treadmill, though. My very own foam roller will release me into the wild!
2) I’ve been having shin pain, which I haven’t had since I first started getting into running. I believe I need new shoes – I’ve been running on my current ones for about a year. Perhaps this will happen this weekend? Excitement.
3) I’m flirting with joining the American Cancer Society’s DetermiNation team to train and fundraise for the Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon (June 25). I’m already signed up for the race, but having a training group and putting in some fundraising effort along with the physical effort could be really great. Currently swapping emails with the Seattle coach to get more info.
4) This weekend, Aaron and I are going to run the route of my April 10K to get a feel for hills, weird turns, etc. This’ll be the first time I’ve done this for a race. I feel Smart.
That’s all for now! Hope everyone has a kickass start to the weekend!
