Wow, thank you all for your excellent insights in my post earlier today! It seems like most of you agree that these magazines do more harm than good, unfortunately.
Confession: I didn’t bring a salad in my lunch today. I ate them three days in a row and got bored with them. I did, however, eat a lot of fruit at lunch today!
I ate another clementine before I took the picture, and only ate about a third of the banana. It was both overripe and underripe and not at all delicious. I also had some Chobani and Annie’s Bernie-O’s, which are basically moderately healthier Spaghetti-O’s. I don’t eat them often, but sometimes I crave them!
After work I went to tackle 4.5 miles at the gym. It went pretty well. I varied my speed between 6.0-7.0 mph and finished in 44:00 even.
I came home to two surprises!
First, the flower girl bracelet I ordered on Saturday came in! Talk about fast. It is really adorable and the princess tiara will be perfect for Maddie. I highly recommend Etsy seller Trendy Tatters for cute jewelry for little kids (and adults too)!
The second delivery?
My Zensah compression sleeves! At first I was worried because they’re SUPER small when they’re not, you know, actually ON you. See?
But they fit!
Lately, my new shoes have been leaving me with sore calves/shins after I run. SIGH. I cannot find the perfect pair of shoes. Even though I don’t have a blistersquatch, I have some blistering around the bed of my right big toe, as well as a small-ish blister on my left arch. And calf pain/shin pain. So far, my legs just feel a little weird—like they’re getting a hug or something!
Runners, tell me—is there such a thing as a perfect pair of shoes that let you run totally pain-free? In my running career thus far, I’ve had:
- Adidas Supernovas (arch blisters, stress fractures in my metatarsals)
- Asics Gel Cumulus (arch blisters)
- Saucony ProGrid Rides (GIANT arch blisters)
- New Balance (calf/shin pain, toe bed blisters)
I just can’t win. Oh well. The pain is tolerable for now!
Anyway, have a great night. I’m traveling for work tomorrow, and I think I might attempt my 8 miler tomorrow instead of Friday/Saturday. Woo for a new PDR!
Talk to me about shoes and your philosophy on them in the comments!
