Now that the 10 miles for Texas race in The Woodlands is behind me, my sights are once again on the Houston marathon. In the month or so since the Chicago marathon, I've managed to somehow put on a quick 10 pounds. Starting post race in Chicago, I had the "I just ran a marathon so I can eat anything" mentality plus I was on vacation up there. The eating just carried on when I got back home. Halloween definetely didn't help as everyone brought their leftover candy or their kid's candy surplus to the office. I spent several days post Halloween trick or treating. Leftovers from coworkers' group lunches in the office, birthday celebrations, United Way kickoff party, and company this past weekend all contributed to the 10. So, with the help of fitday.com, I kicked off my 10 pounds for Houston campaign. I would like to be at or below my Chicago weight come January.
My custom orthotics came in late last week; I ran my first run in them yesterday. I can definetely feel the difference (not sure if its a good or bad difference); I'll see how they do at the track tonight. 6-8 600's are on the schedule tonight. I got the orthotics in order to help balance my weight more evenly and hopefully take care of my recurring achilles issues.
I wore the orthotics in my work shoes after running yesterday. I put them in another pair of street shoes today; they squeek really bad in those shoes so I put my running shoe inserts in the street shoes instead. I'll have to experiment with which shoes I can wear them; I've got inserts all over the place after just 2 days. Will definetely be interesting.
