So today was my most successful day of training yet. I felt awesome at the end of the day and felt like I really accomplished something. Did I mention today was a rest day?
Something I didn't feel great about was buying new shoes. After training in my favorite comfortable sneakers for a couple of days, I realized they weren't going to cut it. For a night at the movies or out with the friends, my Sketchers are my go to shoe, but for the treadmill, they didn't seem quite right. After a mile or so the bottom of my foot was rubbing weird on my shoe. I was fitted for new shoes and of course, I was wearing the wrong size. I now have a pair of shoes that fit perfect in length and width, which is great. What was great was the cash register. Holy moly! I wasn't quite ready for that.
At this point, between shoes, socks and registration fee, I've made a financial investment. I have to be honest with myself though - a good pair of shoes is much cheaper than a trip to a podiatrist!
And with that thought, I'm going to go enjoy the remainder of my "rest" day by watching a bunch of unnecessary television. The celebration can't last forever. Tomorrow will bring 5 miles.
