And bummer about the Guides! I am an Asics girl too, and once tried a pair of Mizunos that felt just like that to me - so stiff. I need my Asics clouds. LOL!<br /><br />And I feel bad, reading the comments and seeing that people feel pressured to push themselves and do what others are (in the blogosphere), even if it's not right for them. :( Learn what you love and what your body loves! There is a blogger I read who kept signing up for things and not doing them cause she thought she had to run a certain distance. No! Do what you want! Especially DON'T run a lot unless you like it. One lady I know said she wants to do a marathon to "say she did." Um, but she hated half training. I advised that she start liking running long, before thinking about doing a marathon, first!kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-64183492187316560522014-12-01T19:32:53.673-06:002014-12-01T19:32:53.673-06:00I'm learning that...sort of!!!I'm learning that...sort of!!!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-64415585188938026912014-12-01T19:31:37.400-06:002014-12-01T19:31:37.400-06:00I have been slacking on the foam rolling too, but ...I have been slacking on the foam rolling too, but I did it tonight before reading this blog!Great minds think alike. <br /><br />I think off seasons are important.

I saw your post on FB yesterday about this woman who was attacked...good grief. That is AWFUL! I wish these things would stop happening, because it sure makes running alone a lot less fun. I'm with you on the shoes...I've tried that before and I will never do it again, either! So scary and also strange how wearing a different shoe makes SO MUCH difference. Thanks for linking up again this week, Wendy!
