I always craved the legs my mom, my 356 first cousins and my aunts all have- like yours and fit a pair of shorts!Special Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195658488931920537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-8018979048177559382010-05-18T09:31:28.369-05:002010-05-18T09:31:28.369-05:00One thing that really stuck out in this post for m...One thing that really stuck out in this post for me- the fact that even the "skinny girls" have body issue moments - and I love you for that! But like you said- all sizes, shapes- we're all beautiful and have to accept our bodies for what they are, what they can/will become and really what we're capable of. <br /><br />Also- I love good running shoe sellers. Here locally (and Liz can also tesify for them) we have The Running Company- who is awesome; and same kind of service, they wouldn't have you buy new ones if you don't need them- they'll know you'll be back when you do because of it. I joined TRC's running club for training and its great too- once you pay the fee one year- you never pay again- pretty awesome!<br /><br />We should start up a new publication (I'm in publication marketing: disclaimer) - Real Runners and show the "real" legs of all runners, body styles and all. I SO don't have the "runner" look- but I'm now averaging a near-12 min mile.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099694654204591978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-26508715048755937652010-05-18T07:25:37.613-05:002010-05-18T07:25:37.613-05:00Maybe with all those hands, the running store guy ...Maybe with all those hands, the running store guy thought he'd be nice because he has the potential to make a fortune selling you gloves?<br /><br />That's great that you're wearing the right shoes (go husband!!). And I had to laugh at your "wimpy legs" diagnosis. Joe went to get new shoes one time and I went along just for fun because I'd bought shoes I was very happy with about a month before. As we sat there, the lady was telling him about different types of shoes and feet - and she looks at my shoes and says "she's an overpronator". Felt like she was saying I had rabies. Joe, of course, laughed. Because she was cute.Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-64105980109185949292010-05-18T05:52:50.595-05:002010-05-18T05:52:50.595-05:00I love that you had a great experience at the runn...I love that you had a great experience at the running store! I did, too- but bought a ton of stuff on my first visit and bought exactly what I came for the next time (running belt).<br /><br />Be careful with those knees! I love that you are listening to your body. <br /><br />When I had my physical, my doc and I talked about running. He used to run so he had a lot of great advice. he said that all the people his age (50's) who used to run decades ago blew out knees and hips and tore muscles because they only ran. They didn't do any cross training. I told him that I was focused on running 3, maybe 4, times a week. And that twice a week, I do some sort of strength training / callisthenics that focus on other muscle groups. He confirmed that this was a great plan. He explained that you have to strengthen, for example, the front thigh muscle. Running focuses on the back of the thighs. If you do separate work to strengthen the front of the thigh, that will better support the strain put on the back set of muscles.Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.com
