Yesterday’s activities: an hour run and a full 3 sets of the Steamboat Core Workout. It’s so amazing how far we’ve come, from barely being able to do one of those core sets to being able to do all three. They are never easy, but what is easy in Nordic training?
Today my dad and I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to scope out some running shoes for the season. Here is a picture of what we got. The white ones are training shoes, and the black/red ones are more like trail running flats, which I will use for racing.

I decided to try out my training shoes on the road today, and they were extremely comfortable. I went about 7 miles and felt amazing all the way. It took exactly one hour from start to finish. Here is the Google Maps route of what I did. I hope to run more toward the end of the week. Expect some more media clips and stuff of that. (I sent my GPS off to Garmin the other day, but I’m not sure when it will be back.)
