Gym Training - Took my foot for a road test

A couple of days ago I want to buy new trainers, when I showed the chap what I wanted , my old trainers. He wanted to know where I had brought them. From this shop I replied, the sales man told me he had no ladies shoes in the style I needed so sold me a pair of mens.

Well he should not, he said. It turns out that with the style of shoe sold me last time, the way they are made for men and women are different due to the differances in the pelvic and leg area of men and women, the way a womans heal lands is different from a mans when running. So the shoe implants are placed in a different place. No wonder I had so many injuries. Now I have a ladies pair of trainers just right for me I hope. No I can feel the support is good now.

My PT session the other day was really good we worked hard on upper body, Steve says we need to focus on a few exercises and build strength up on these. I am back doing deadlifts. Its funny it was in my mind to ask him if we could go back to them now I am not running. How minds think a like some times.

Yesterday was rest day and today I worked shoulders, core and then decided to take my foot for a road test. I want very slowly, but covered three miles. My upper body and core feel very strong. Pleased about this not yet ready to run with my friend I have to take it slowly I can feel this in my body. Will not run again for a few days than do another slow three miles. I needed to do this with all the worries about getting a job, keeping a roof over our heads, nothing going right and everything I try going against me, I am bottling this up and I knew I needed to go out and run. Running is where I think. Its where I can come up with ideas. You have no mobiles, no distractions just you the pavement, fresh air and the road.
