I had to take time off from running when I was pregnant with Connor and when I went back, I felt like Frankenstein trying to run! Give yourself some time, you'll find a good rhythm pretty quickly. Just do what feels right. Don't take things too fast or you'll injure yourself. No harm in taking your time. I'm back to running with the jogging stroller. I don't mind it. My gait is different but the whole point is just getting outdoors in the fresh air and getting a little exercise in. I'm also back to running races but with a jogging stroller, I'm limited to 5k's only because of the stroller. It's kind of cool because people cheer me on way more than the average runner. All along the courses I hear, "GO MAMA!" It's so awesome. Plus, my kids LOVE crossing the finish line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sooooo What do ya'll think of barefoot running? Ala Born To Run? I kinda want the Vibram fingers for your feet. I guess when you run with sneakers, you land heel first and it's shocking (literally) to your legs. But naturally barefoot runner land ball-feet first and land throughout their foot, putting less pressure on their legs. Sounds great but I would want to Vibrams to protect me from random stones and heaven forbid, bits of glass on the roads. You don't know what's on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way these day's would I go barefoot for any length of time. When I run these days, I try and run on my toes as much as possible. It feels better and gives my calves more of a work out.

Glad to hear from you and good job on your running! Go mama indeed. I want my kids to enjoy exercise and see it as a fun thing to do. They can have their couch potato time but need to get outdoors and run around too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Cocky Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Tough of the track, With the wind, And the rain that's beating down on your back. Your heart's beating loud And goes on getting louder And goes on even more till the sound Is ringing in your head, With every step you tread, And every breath you take, Determination makes You run, Never stop, Gotta win, gotta run till you drop, Keep the pace, Hold the race, Your mind is getting clearer, You're over halfway there but the miles Just never seem to end As if you're in a dream, Not getting anywhere. It seems so futile. Run, on and on, Run, on and on, The loneliness of the long distance runner. I've got to keep running the course, I've got to keep running and win at all costs, I've got to keep going, be strong, Must be so determined and push myself on. Run over stiles, across fields, Turn to look at who's on your heels, Way ahead of the field, The line is getting nearer but do You want the glory that goes, You reach the final stretch, Ideals are just a trace, You feel like throwing the race, It's all so futile. Run, on and on, Run, on and on, The loneliness of the long distance runner Edited February 10, 2010 by Rush Cocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
