run more

ran on the pinellas trail…almost 5 miles! we ran to the southside and were both a little scared, but we ran all the way to bogie and back from her house. my knee kinda hurt after awhile..but other than that it was really nice!

this morning, hilary (aka running buddy) picked me up at 645 and we parked at northshore pool and started running before the sun was up! it wasnt too hot, just hot for january. i felt pretty good, we stretched a litle after a 1/2 mile and then kept going alllll the way down brightwaters. after awhile my ankles really started hurting and then awhile after that my knees started really hurting (from old shoes or running on the pavement?) but i tried not to complain too much bc i wanted to keep going and keep positive for my sake and hers. eventually, we made it back to the parking lot and did a total of 6 miles! =DD thats the furthest i’ve ran in a longgg time. i still need new shoes!!

so yesterday, hilary and I went to the pinellas trail and headed towards the overpass on central. we warmed up by jogging to the end of the ramp and then back to central ave and our workout started with sprinting the stairs up to the overpass and then jogging down and back to the stairs. we did that 5 times, had water, and then decided it was too easy, so we sprinted up and down the stairs 5 times. water. and then again. but i only got to 3 times up/down because the arch of my left foot was really hurting and now it still hurts on the ball of the foot =[ i really need new shoes. all in all that was around 2 or 2.5 miles of semispeed lol.
and today, hilary ran about 4 miles while i rollerbladed because of my shoe/foot issues. it was much nicer and i dont hurt right now.
hopefully tomorrow i’ll be able to go buy new shoes!
