After wanting to rip my headphones off and throw my phone off the second floor from the treadmill, I had to go over my issues today. I have to figure out how to remedy to the issues…..
*My shoes are worn out. And this is the last time I'm using them. I have to say goodbye to my first Brooks running shoes. I'm budgeted for new shoes in February and I have already been researching shoes.
*I realized my PEAR app (www.pearsports.com) isn't going be able to count my miles because the GPS is off when I use the treadmill vs going outside. So I wasn't able to finish my 'race' because by the time I ran 3.1 miles (according to my FitBit) PEAR said it was only 1.1 miles after 48 MINUTES!
*My foot hurts. A lot. My shoes didn't help and I was forced to stop a lot due to pain. It's why I was so slow today.
*And I was unable to focus…… I had a very intense emotional discussion with my Battle Buddy. I'm fine and it was a good conversation. It's just not good to have one like that before a race. It makes it very difficult to focus.
So! New plan. I'm taking a break from running this coming week. I will be focusing on yoga for the week. Im buying my new running shoes at the end of next week. Im going to decide which app I'm going to start up and Im going to work on healing my foot- hot epsom salts, icing it, and massage.
