We're back in business, baby! Saturday's Team in Training group run was fantastic - longest distance of my life - 5.3 miles, and I could have kept going! :) We have a "mock event" this Saturday - 7 miles and I'm not that terrified! I'm ready to smash those 7 miles and then I can say that I've run more than halfway to a half marathon. I'm getting so excited!
I am desperate for new kicks - my running shoes are WORN OUT. Not only are the soles worn out, but they have stretched out so much that my feet slide around in them and blisters are forming. Ouch. I have been to two running stores so far - the first I did not get a good "vibe" for, and the second (the largest within 45 miles) had nothing in my size. HUH? I've got 3 more places to try, but the problem is that I don't want to take the kids. Trying to concentrate on what the salesperson is saying while preventing them from tearing the place up. For my four miles tonight my plan is to rub Body Glide over my feet, hope for the best and pray that I find shoes tomorrow! :)
Happy Running,
Beth

Just came across ur blog-ur title caught my eye as I am also a running mom of three boys! If the current shoes you use work for you, I'd use roadrunners ports.com. Huge selection and they always have my size and width. Haven't been to a running shop since! Good luck with your training!
