My First Blister...

Feb. 21, 2007

Tonight was our first Wed practice. These weekday practices will focus on technique, while the Saturday practices will focus on long runs. We met at a running store (how ironic is that) on the upper east side and headed to Central Park.

Tonight's practice was all about what to do with our arms. I have no idea how far we ran, but I think it was about 3-4 miles. By the end, my legs were burning!!! My arms felt fine, but my legs were hurting. All in all, we ran for 35-45 minutes.

In addition, I learned the importance of socks. I was wearing the wrong ones. Cotton is not the way to go ... I learned this the hard way (big blister on my left foot). I guess meeting at the running store worked out. I was able to buy some new socks.

I am starting to realize how I am not flexible at all. I need to stretch more!

By the way, if you were wondering what the above design is. It is Joe’s initials and my tattoo. Look closely….You can see the “J” and the “I”.
