Running Journal ~ Day 7


Today is day 7 of my pre-marathon training. I have learned 2 things today. First of all, I have learned that you should not wear coarse socks when power walking/running for 30 minutes. Because I did not heed my own advice I now have a blister forming on the inside of my right heel! Hopefully, it will not be a problem for tomorrow's venture. Secondly, I have learned that I do not get the concept of running without bouncing. I think I will have to study more with Gloria on that one. I will say that I diligently tried today to "glide", but my body started laughing at me (perhaps that was only my brain). Consequently, I ended up bouncing for most of the 1 minute runs this morning. Se la vie! Perhaps tomorrow I will have more success in that area. If I think like karate (the ceiling is only as tall as your lowest stance) then perhaps I will get it; or I will hit my head a lot! =0)

Toodaloo for now.
