Day 50
3.5 Miles
50 Minutes
Today was great again. It took a good mile for my legs to feel ok. I did my normal route with a minor change. Instead of going the whole way up Western Ave to Cherry St I took the canal the last half mile or so and ended at Grandma's house (before going back).
I went to the chiropractor today and he was glad that I came. He fixed me up good! He also told me to start taking glucosamine sulfate. He said that will help build the good tissue around my knees and make them feel better. He also told me to come back the day before the half marathon.
50 days down, 17 to go!

Day 44
3.3 Miles Jogging (57 minutes) I, know, I know, that's terrible!
On the plus side, I wore my new running shoes, and loved them. My knees just haven't been feeling right. It took a full mile for them to start to feel ok. The jog was really slow today (obviously) but at 5th street on my way home I got a great burst of energy and jogged faster than I ever had. I lasted until Poplar St. I was proud of that. Today was supposed to be a 5 mile day, but I just am worried to over-do it while my knees are feeling like this. I wish I had an extra month to train. I sure didn't expect to have all of these aches and pains.
44 days down, only 23 to go!

Day 39
Today was my long run. I was feeling a little lazy, so my goal was to do 7 miles. Mom and I went to the loop around 7:00. I feel like an old lady. I started out the morning with my hips and knees hurting. During the run the arches in my feet were hurting so much that I walked the last 1 1/2 miles or so! After my run, and all day, the center line of my quad (left leg) hurts really bad. Yikes! What is going on!? It all feels like muscle pain, I don't think I hurt anything.
Also, something exciting!! Today Jared and I went to Performance Footwear and got me a pair of running shoes! He has been so supportive of my running and has been telling me that I need to get a good pair of shoes so I can do the best that I can. How fun!!
39 days down, 28 to go!

Day 37!
4.5 Miles (All jogging except for my warm up/cool down)
1 hour 4 minutes (jogging for 53:55 - Top of Springwater to Cherry St....turnaround...back down Western to Maple St.....turnaround...back to top of Springwater)
Jogging an average of 13.9 minute miles.
Today was great. I get to pass some of my young women while I jog. They are on their way to cross country and soccer practice. It gives me such a boost of energy when I pass someone I know!
My knees are feeling great, however my hips are feeling pretty sore. I am going to go figure out some hip stretches and see if that helps.
37 days down, 30 to go! The race is 1 month from today, HOW EXCITING!!!
