How to choose the correct shoes

If you are a complete beginner in running/walking, you need to know your foot type and your running gait.You can go to a specialized running shop that will take a video analysis of your running/walking style.There are 3 foot types - a flat footed,a neutral and a high arched. Please go to this website for further info on how to determine your foot type- http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/news/article.asp?UAN=481. Knowing your foot type will allow you to choose the correct shoes type and my friends, it will be the beginning of a happy run/walk above all injury free.

The Weekend Run - What it is like to run the 18Miles

Saturday was a perfect trot day. Temperature was mild, sun was up and I just had a nap. Perfect. Set to run at 4:00 p.m.

I took the newmills route and continued towards glenties. Upon reaching the Glenties and Church Hill intersection,I turned right and headed back to Letterkenny Dunnes stores. That's a total of 9 miles. The best part is, I have to repeat that route.
At 12 miles, my left knee started to feel the pain-AGAIN. As I continued, my right lower leg started to feel the pain that I have to walk. I took it easy, walk a bit and walk more. I was thinking, I cannot go back because I am almost halfway now. If I have to walk, I might not finish in 3 hours and it gets boring seeing nothing on the road except a few sheep.So I started to run again oblivious of the pain. A lot of things were going on my mind now that I already forgot about the pain. When I was in the intersection, I was relieved and tried to increase my speed. Looking forward now for a shower and a plateful dinner at Ritche's place. I've finished the run for 3 hours and 15 minutes.Right after exercise, it is best to consume food within 1 hour for your muscle recovery.

Saturday was the birthday celebration of TOR-Ritche and Mel's youngest. I arrived when the kids were playing charade hosted by Princes.I headed straight to the kitchen to devour whatever is on the table.I had a delicious pansit, lechon paksiw and shanghai roll. Of course,I have to make room for my all time favorite - chocolate cup cake of Bunny and the Rice cake of Adel.mmmm... After pigging out -aka - muscle recovery, fatigue is now setting in on me so I asked Alvin for a soothing back massage.My back was relieved immediately. That's the wonder of Alvin's hands.Wahoo.After that, I decided to exit so I can do hot compress to relieve the leg pain.

Next time, I will post a guide on how to choose the correct shoes for running/walking according to your running/walking style.

The Midweek Run

Geared up with a long tights and a yellow jacket, i went out while the sun was still shining but the cold temperature is starting to bite at half six in the evening. My schedule for today is to run for 7 miles easy. The route starts from the Radisson Leisure Center, pass the old town, follow the road to new mills and out to the big road then back to the Leisure Centre. Wow, it sounds short and easy.

I had a mixed feeling going out running this route today as its my first time to run late in the evening in this area. Half-way on my run, my right knee started to feel funny. Its paining. As i turned to the big road, the sun was down and the moon became evident.Gabi na! Tumatakbo pa ko!(It's late and I'm still running!).I trotted the 7 miles for 1 hour and 6 mins.
