ASICS Gel


I got some new running shoes today! I am so happy! I have heared that Asics gel are the best and that's what I got. I am hoping new shoes, icing my shins, elevating them and wrapping them when I run will get rid of the shin splints once and for all. I love my Adidas Supernova's, but they are 8 months old.

I did weight training last night. It only took me about 25 minutes. On each machine I did two sets of 12, somewhat low weight. I worked chest and arms today. (In the near future I plan to have more of a routine for weight training ANY SUGGESTIONS would be great) I wasn't happy about going so late in the day but I ended up meeting a work out buddy that works out that same time everyday. I kind of hate to go tomorrow when she is there because then she will hear me huffing and puffing like the Big Bad Wolf, how embarrasing. I hate hearing myself breath loud when I am running that's why I have my music up! Anyway,Thanks for reading. See you tomorrow. (please excuse the blurry picture)

    Regarding the shin splints-when you bought your shoes did you go to a running store and get fitted? I noticed after I did that I didn't have any problems with joint pain or with shin splints.

    I didn't go to a shoe store this time I just did the wet test, to see what type of arch I have. I really wanted to go to a running store but being in this different country with everything so far away it may take me a while to get to one of those stores. Thanks though, I bet it did make a world of a difference for you!
