Fun miles on a tread mill. I started feeling a bit narcissistic as there are mirrors in front of the treadmill. Actually, I was able to watch myself run and notice a few things I can improve on and a couple of things I tried to change/improve on (like foot strike) that nearly caused my to fly off of the tread mill
The biggest thing I saw was the fact I don't pick my feet up much when I run. This alone explains why I will eat dirt at least once on a trail run. I wonder if the simple act of picking my feet up more would correlate to a different pace….faster/slower? I’m going to guess faster. In these cold months I think I’m going to spend more time indoors working on running the treadmill while bettering my form.
I’m being peer pressured into driving down to do the National Breast Cancer marathon (26.2 w/Donna) on 2/15. It does sound like fun but I have reservations as I’m doing a marathon this weekend. I don’t think I’ll have problems doing the races back to back but I wonder what the long term outcome will be. The last thing I want is another stress fracture from too many miles. Perhaps I’ll just join them but only run the half….or just wait for them at the finish line sucking down a margarita…..come to think of it…that last option sounds pretty good. :)
Finally, I followed one of the advertisement links from this site and had to share this
