Week 4, Day 1

Wow! I have much to tell today!

First and foremost, I ran today! The hills have been killing me, so I changed my route to be about 90% flat instead of a long slow incline and a short fast incline with a smaller one in between. Today I did 2 minutes of running and 1 minute of walking, except uphill, and I am fine with that. I am so happy that I have progressed to this point. And the most interesting part of it all is that I didn't want to run today because it has been raining and was gloomy, I was tired, and I didn't want to go to the gym. But, it stopped raining for a short period of time and I went out and ran. Oh yes, and I saw no dogs on my new route.

Yesterday I went to Fleet Feet Sports to get fit for running shoes. My feet are so wide that they are going to special order the shoes in a 8 4E width. Unfortunately, it will take 1 to 2 weeks to get them in. I believe the new shoes are Asics GT 2130s. Thankfully, my wife found the extra new pair of sneakers in my closet. These are the same as I've been wearing but are new.
