My theory has been that my runners contributed to my weird foot injury from a couple of weeks ago. (They were 14 months old, so it's not shocking that I might need new ones.) I had decided to buy new ones, but I didn't want to do that until my foot was better.
This morning, I bought new runners. They are much more snug than my old ones. I immediately work them to my pump class, where they performed well. Tonight I went back to boxing, and they worked well there as well - and my foot is no more sore than it was when I got up today. (I didn't do any of the skipping at boxing - no point in being stupid about it.)
When I get home from boxing, I set my water bottle in the kitchen, then head off to the shower. As I was getting ready for my shower, I noticed that the fan cover in the bathroom was dusty.
Normally, this would be the kind of thing I'd ignore for a couple of weeks, but today I actually cleaned it.
I also did a little bit of shredding, but nothing major.

I've heard that you're supposed to replace running shoes after you've run 500 miles--although that's hard to gauge when you're using them for things like boxing :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're feeling better.
I think I heard they need to be replaced after 300 hours - which I definitely haven't hit. Between colds and travel, I missed a bunch of weeks of workouts in the last year. It probably depends what you're using them for, though.
ReplyDeleteI run on Wii fit without shoes and have noticed my feet and calves feel like they are on fire when I do. I will have to be getting some shoes I thinK!
ReplyDeleteJackie, one other thing you can do is make sure you're stretching enough - I know if I don't stretch my calves before running, they will hurt. (Of course, I avoid running, so I'm not necessarily the best judge.)
