Proper use of energy

Thought For The Day


Be consistent, steady and humble and you will succeed


On Tuesday I thought I could run faster so I tried, only to find out that I was running out of breath. I had to stop few times to catch my breath. Wrong thing to do. Today I decided to humble myself and run slower. It worked and I ran 5 miles in an hour and I didn't have to stop for breath. There was a person in red running in front me about 10 blocks away. At one point I thought of catching up to the runner but I chose not to. It is humbling to be a steady and consistent runner when you feel running faster. At this speed it will take me about 5-6 hours to run a marathon. I do need to improve my speed. My goal is to cover 8 mile an hour. Next week I will try to run 6 miles in an hour.

New Running Shoes

A Good Pair of Running Shoes

Yesterday my wife took me to a shoe store to buy me a new pair of running shoes. We thought it would take, maybe about 30 minutes at the most to find a pair of shoes that would work for my feet. Well, it took almost an hour. I learned a lot about those running shoes and how each one is made differently. Not all running shoes are equal and for a good one I need to spend around $80 to $100.00 I went for the medium price shoes but the young who picked the shoes for me said that I should buy a better shoes when I am ready to run the marathon. Later I ran for two and a half miles and I felt good. I think I am going to enjoy running more now that I have a new pair of shoes.

STARTING OVER AGAIN

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Just keep the train moving, because it takes a lot of energy to get the train going again once it stops.

I have been out of the country for a while so I am behind on my training. I am starting over again. Two days ago I ran for 45 minutes and I felt tired. I need to run more. I also need to buy a good pair of running shoes. Sometimes I am tempted to run bare feet like I used when I was a boy. My feet are flat and really wide so it is hard to find a pair of shoes that feels comfortable.
Today I went hunting for shoes but they did not have my size. I don't really know what sizes would
work well for me. Maybe E3 wide.
