2XU Compression Socks

I’ve been having some minor shin pain/soreness.  I always do stretches before and after runs.  I’ve searched the internet for ways to alleviate my pain and decided to get compression socks.  I haven’t worn them yet in a race but I plan to soon.  I don’t see many runners wear them so I’m not sure how well they will work.

I plan to get more running gear.  I would love to have some compression pants and/or shorts.  To bad gear can be so expensive .

Addison Jo Blair 5K Run /Walk

May 19th - This is my 2^nd race with the “Burger King” group.  The group consists of family/friends (some related to my sister in law).  The relatives of my sister in law have been my friends for a number of years.  The husband of one friend owns a few “Burger King” franchises and he loves to run with his wife.  They are a great pair running side by side.  I was honored to run with them and others again.

There was a large crowd for this race because it was for a great cause.  Sadly, my running time and pace was much worse than the last race.

129th out of 416 overall

This race made me realize that I’ve got to change my whole routine.  I never want to fall behind in time again.  I’ve got to train harder and increase my miles.  I can’t stand how I do so well my first 2 miles then I start lagging on my last mile.

Sharks on the Run 5K 2012

May 12 - This is the last Fayette County Public School race.  I received my Trifecta shirt during the awards ceremony.  There were 37 Trifecta runners.  I’m so excited because I’ve never done a series of races that were for one purpose.

 I didn’t train for this race.  In the end, my time wasn’t the greatest but I deserved it because I didn’t train.  My goal is to better my time with every race I run but I have fallen behind.

I’m stuck in limbo.  I want to improve my running time and pace but I’ve got to train harder and increase my miles.  I have moments when I tell myself I can do it then another part of me tells me I can’t.
