Just for Kicks

I finally bought my running shoes! I ended up going to TriAthletics on Chapel Hill and it was wonderful! The store was very chill and the guy who helped me was a champ! I say, "I'm running a marathon and I've never done more than a 5K...so Help!" After chatting about different marathons he's done, the half I plan to run in Minnesota in September, working up a sweat on the treadmill, and about 10 pairs later, he found me my Mizunos! They are SUPER light and have feel great. All in all, it was a great experience and I plan on using them for anything I need from here on out.

So...come Saturday and beautiful weather, I went 6.1 miles, running about 4.5 of that, around Columbia. This was the first time I ran the 1st mile in its entirety. Once I got that far, I just kept getting further away from home. It took me about an hour and a half but by then, I was in the zone so I did abs and legs (as if they weren't going to be sore enough!)

Here is something I just found! Map your route and know how far you actually went with Gmaps Pedometer! Just zoom in to your area close enough so you can tell the roads, click "Start Recording," double click your starting point and click along you route! You're welcome, Earth!

Now, I finally get to read more Kitchen Confidential instead of staring at note cards! Cheers :)
