yesterday I walked my 5K route, although I'm starting to believe it's more then 5K. It took me an hour. Not bad. This morning I ran/walk the route. I made it in 36 minutes. I'm not too disappointed considering I haven't ran in a week but my mind was more focus then it has been before I took a break.
I did not mention the sneakers I finally bought. They are Asics - Nimbus Gel and they're very cool (pic below). I went to a store, Potomac River Runners, specifically for runners. They specialize in gait analysis. So first they had me stand on something that checked the size, width and arch of my foot. Then she picked out a pair of shoes for me. She told me when I put them on they should feel like slippers. They did. Then she had me run on a tread mill where she watched my legs to see whether they were over or under-pronating. They weren't. She had me try on some other sneakers but these still fit the best. So those are the sneakers I have and I use them only for running.
Lastly, my heel has been hurting, for about a month now. I'm not sure what to do about it. I tried soaking in epsom salt, which relieved some of the pain but I still have it. If anyone out there have suggestions, let me know.
