I just sent in my paperwork and commitment form to Team In Training. I am officially training for the Marine Corp Marathon - which is October 31st in Washington D.C. I can't believe I decided to actually go for the full Marathon (yikes). Now I just wait to hear from my fundraising coordinator, trainer and meet my team; I hope there is one in the area! First things first, shoes. Right now, as mentioned before I have horrible trail runners. I am going to use my next bonus check to get some nice running shoes. My contact at TNT already told me that I should go to a specialty running store so they can fit me for shoes dependent on my stride and other factors. Training officially starts in May but I am going to do some prep work so I can get my body accustomed to physical activity. I also started looking at running clothing on Nike.com. They have a wonderful selection and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these running shorts.
The husband and I are heading to Asheville, NC this weekend. Not only will we be mostly walking around town but also I hope to head into the Mountains for some times in the outdoors. Who knows what the weekend will bring but I am excited. I promise to take lots of pictures!
Downtown Asheville, NC !!!!
Wow! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteMy mom went to Fleet Feet to get her latest pair of running shoes. They made her run, try on different shoes, watched her stride/steps and found a perfect shoe for her. Plus they got her inserts to make them even more customized. She barely paid over $100 for the whole thing.
