I’m struggling to find time to run recently, not surprising with the travelling and work that i’ve had on. I can’t use this as an excuse however!

I’ve been going to Pump classes each week still, and have been increasing my effort there. I’ve also thought about finding time to bike ride again, so that I can cross train. But I can’t see myself bike riding if I can’t even find time to run!

I’ve got a 10km run this weekend. It’s just a fun run for practice for the upcoming half marathon. It’ll be good for practice, and it may turn out to be the only running I get done this week after everything else that is going on.

I went to Pump class in shorts and a singlet today, the weather was so summery. :) Despite my lull in physical activity, I felt really good!

I also stopped at a sports shoe shop the other day to discuss the blisters i’m getting from my shoes. There are a number of things: it could be the socks i’m wearing, it could be that my feet are quite susceptible to blisters (some feet are), it could be that my cross training shoes are too rigid for running and that I need running shoes (eek!), it could be a lot of things basically. I’ve still been experimenting with different techniques of dealing with the blisters and have made some progress in reducing the severity of them. :)
