Well, it's been quite a few weeks since the Half Marathon and since I ran last! I recovered quite quickly this year but have used all sorts of excuses as to why I've not been pounding the pavements.
SO - one of the excuses was that I needed new trainers as the last pair gave me extreme pain in my ankles after the half marathon and I was always prone to getting blisters on the inside arch of my foot. (And yes, there is blood on the trainer on the right!!!) PLUS I was told by my Mikey Wills (Chiropractor/Sports Masseur) that I had a high arched feet.
I've been advised that Run and Become in Cardiff is the best place to go as they've been going for years and haven't had any negative feedback about them (in comparison to Up an Running in Swansea). Only negative here is that they are going to make me run on the pavement in Cardiff, but I suppose it's for the best as I know I run differently on the treadmill.
I'm planning a little run in the morning as I've also got some long sleeved sports tops for running in the colder weather! My next post will hopefully have a nice little pic of my brand new running shoes (preferably on me ready to go for my run)
I also wanted to provide a link with some tips about those people who are thinking about starting running. I've (apparently) already inspired a handful of people to start running so I'm hoping that I will inspire even more people in 2012!
