This weekend was fairly relaxing/uneventful for me. I've been trying to incorporate more cardio into my exercise regimen, so I finally got on that. Running is incredibly appealing to me because it can be done with no equipment and it is extremely effective as far as cardio goes. It just seems so simple and natural.
Saturday morning, we went to get bagels and then set off on a mission to purchase some running shoes. My feet are small and wide, so I was seriously dreading the search. We first went to a specialty shoe store that advertises "gait analysis." They didn't even carry shoes smaller than a size 7, so that was a no-go. Then, we made our way across the street to Sports Authority and I was pleasantly surprised with the huge selection of small sized running shoes. I tried on about 6 different shoes and finally settled on Brooks Ravenna 4.
These are the best, most comfortable, and stylish running shoes I've ever tried on. I am so glad that I found them. They are expensive, but they fit my wide, small feet perfectly and have amazing support. I'm in love!
My run on Sunday left me sore but optimistic that I will be able to stick with it. My new goal is to get a run in at least twice a week and strength train three times a week. It'll be challenging to stick to these new goals, but it's definitely doable. I am not comfortable with establishing any type of restrictive diet, although that is probably what is keeping me from losing any weight. Restricting is a slippery slope for me, and I don't want to end up with any bad eating disorderish thoughts (yes I made that word up). I'll reevaluate later if I feel more comfortable with it.
