http://Ayobami.sweat365.com Running sucks...but it's good for you so keep it up Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:26:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I just got a good look at my training schedule for the full marathon in February...from what I can tell, there's absolutely no need to train for the Philly half in November since the full schedule will take care of it all and then some. God, it hurts to even ... http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/09/16/my-eyeballs-hurt/ I've taken a week off after I finished the Rock N Roll half, but now I guess it's time to jump back on the shin splint bandwagon and start running again, especially since I'm sure that marathon in February will be upon me sooner than I expect it. http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/09/08/breaks-oversort-of/ I had a premonition that Sunday would be my last run before the half marathon. Really, Ms. Cleo's twin sister, Ms. Headley, came to me in a dream and told me that I better run like crackheads with hellhounds were after me, cause it would be my last run before ... http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/26/i-knew-it/ Didn't feel like challenging myself today...took it slow and easy and stopped to walk more than once. The half marathon is next week so there's no reason to kill myself now. :-) http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/23/run-17-hours-08232008/ Ouch...lately, every time I run I get this ache up the inside of my right shin. Sometimes it stops after a while but today it didn't. I thought the pain was a by-product of my old sneakers but perhaps not. Oh, in other exciting news, when I went to give myself ... http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/17/pain-pain-go-away-come-again-on-doris-day/ NYRR team championships this morning - ran with my Jack Rabbit class and broke in the new Nikes. Ouch. http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/16/run-09-hours-08162008/ I went to get a new pair of running shoes today (at a different running store than I got my first "non-outlet/offbrand" shoes) and, as a good salesperson should, they whipped out the measuring thingy to find out how big my big, fat, archless, flipper feet were...that's when I found ... http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/15/shoe-sizes-are-strange/ Thank goodness I don't have any runs or workouts scheduled today, since I'm running on caffeine and approximately 2 hours of sleep. Am I the only one who suffers from exercise-induced insomnia? I don't know why it is - and it doesn't happen every time although it is happening much more ... http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/13/running-on-fumes/ http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/12/run-09-hours-08122008/ I think I'm going have to develop what I would call a sports bra winch. Some sort of mechanism whereby one can hook the back of one's sports bra into it and let gravity help you get it off. Too many times I've been prey to the baked-on, caked-on, sweaty ... http://Ayobami.sweat365.com/2008/08/09/new-device-for-female-runnerspatent-pending/
