AND, I had gotten a few pair for $35 and so I felt like it was worth it to cut one pair. I ended up only running in them once like that, but it wouldn't have mattered, I had to change shoes to completely get rid of the injury, so I couldn't wear them anymore anyway! <br /><br />You'll be ready! I'm doing less running but all of them on the treadmill except my long runs. I keep getting lucky and having my long runs on days that warm up, it looks like we may hit 50 this weekend when I'm due for 10 miles! Hopefully enough snow will have melted that it won't be too slippery!Karen Orozcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119330782581322240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-16026791998117583892014-01-07T09:52:12.542-08:002014-01-07T09:52:12.542-08:00I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CUT YOUR RUNNING SHOES!

We all need that at some point.<br /><br />I haven't done nearly any of my training yet in 2014 - mostly because of the snow/freezing temps here and I hate treadmills. It will be all my fault if I'm not ready for Princess... but I'll push myself through it either way.<br /><br />We'll both get there!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608852050730225831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-73206689471965770682014-01-06T11:38:27.248-08:002014-01-06T11:38:27.248-08:00Thanks Kristy!

I think you are right, my run today felt effortless compared to some of my runs lately and I think it's b/c I'm overtraining a bit and not recovering enough (for my body). I ran 4 today and I will most likely just cross train or run a short 2 miler on Wednesday so I can be well rested for my 10 mile run on Saturday!

It will probably help both in training and avoiding any further issues.<br />I'll be pulling for you that the rest is exactly what was needed and you'll be running pain free again soon! Take it easy when you do start running again, back off to any signs of pain, probably avoid hills for a while since they will pull on your tendon. Get yourself to that 13.1 in 7 weeks:)Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-37536440161198801572014-01-06T11:33:08.126-08:002014-01-06T11:33:08.126-08:00On the mend!

Glad you are taking the time to rest. You will do fine at PHM, just remember even though it's a race, you don't have to "race" it. Just go at your on pace and listen to your body.

It's never fun to have to take a mandatory rest but it's a necessary part of what we love to do. I decided to practice yoga at home today instead of running my planned 4 miles or going to a yoga class since this cold is kicking my butt. There's a saying in yoga that I like to remember when my body is "acting up": it's yoga practice, not yoga perfect. Same goes for running, You're still making progress and you're going to rock that half marathon! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375193749694759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541924416172709944.post-44470937594557736652014-01-04T08:19:04.758-08:002014-01-04T08:19:04.758-08:00Thanks Desiree!

That's a good reminder for all of us!
