New Shoes

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:53:00 GMT

I am in desperate need of new running shoes. So I went to Fleet Feet, which is where I usually go. I found out that they are no longer carrying my favorite shoes the Adidas Supernova Control. They decided not to carry Adidas for awhile due to their poor customer service and quality of shoe for the price. So by their advice, and against my better judegment, I went with a Nike Zoom shoe. I ran on my treadmill and could only make it 2 miles before my foot was burning and needed to change out to my old, but new, Saucony. What a disappointment! I guess I am going to go back and buck up for the other recommendation the Asics Gel Kayano for $134. That will be the most I have ever spent on a running shoe but the gal at Fleet Feet swears I will get more mileage out of this shoe than any other. I'll let you know how it goes.

No more sore muscles

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:42:00 GMT

When I went into my trainer a few weeks ago I was telling him that I was having trouble with my hamstrings being really tight even after stretching.

He had just gotten back from Arizona helping his father launch a new product he designed at the P.F.Chang Rock N Roll marathon. The product is called the Muscletrac and you use it after workout or just any time you feel sore. It looks like a rolling pin with gears on it. You roll it on the affected area sabout 10x. I am telling you after using it everyday for 2 weeks I have noticed a big difference.

What it does it is works out the tension and lactic acid build up in the sore areas to promote healing.

I was using one of those big hard foam rolls and that was so painful the way you had to use it I stopped. This thing is so great, you are able to control the tension so if you are overly sore in one area you just work it a little easier.

www.muscletrac.com It cost about $54 with shipping and tax and only took 4 days to get to me.

I love this thing!!!!

Local running groups and race schedules

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:33:00 GMT

Fleet Feet and Big River Running Company both have great group running schedules for the week and weekends on their websites. They vary in distance and they invite walkers to beginners and advanced runners. These groups are a great way to meet other people that work at your skill level.

They also have race schedules for area races so if at any time you want to challenge yourself you know when and where a race may be.

So check them out!!!
