Two Feet, many days, one goal

I was incredibly appreciative of my good friend Sum and her company running today. We headed to a beautiful area, ran, caught up with each other and sweat like crazy! Good way to start the weekend. Here’s to good friends and good runs (or what ever your activity maybe)!

I went to my naturopath yesterday to find out more about my IT band issue and extremely tight calves. I found out I had a magnesium deficiency. Hopefully supplements will help and I will be back to feeling good. I have 5 weeks until my first half marathon and I am determined to finsih with gusto. I was doing so well about 2 weeks ago, ran 10 miles and felt great, then things started to hurt and feel off. Looking forward to increasing miles again and getting back to that runners high.

I am starting to pick up the pace again, but still sticking to lower mileage. I can’t wait to be back to 10 plus miles. I have only 5 weeks until the Dublin half marathon so I need to get back there quickly. I am using super feet to help with my IT Band and I am finding my calves really tired. Has anyone every experience that with Super Feet?
