As per goal #50, I've been looking for races to participate in. Registering for a race is one of the best ways for me to stay motivated in my workouts.
Saturday I registered for the local Womens 4 Miler that will be held the first Saturday in September. I'm excited- I haven't run a race since New Year's Day 2009. As usual, I'm trying to be careful to avoid shin splints- they're the reason I haven't run any races in so long.
Since my running shoes were pretty old and worn out,
I decided it was time to get some new shoes:
I love new shoes! The old ones were feeling saggy and lopsided. The new ones feel so good- nice and firm and supportive.
