Change is a Challenge!

So, Dr. Steve filmed me jogging along and has made some recommendations to help me run more efficiently and to help keep me injury free. Today I tried for the first time to really change from heel striking to landing more mid-foot. It is hard to change how you run. I found that out very quickly. He gave me some drills to do in the mirror before heading out. And I just saw these drills on Barbara's FB page. They dovetail nicely into everything he is saying.

This higher knees business requires a lot more energy. At least here in the initial phase of trying to do it. I was tired, with a capital T!!!

Found out something useful tonight...Taco Bell does have a couple of vegetarian options. Happy to report I stuck to my guns and did not order any meat. But man I used to love a taco from there. Or the chicken quesadilla. Alas, my veggie Cantina bowl was satisfying enough.

Still on the fence about registering for the Long Island Half Marathon. Will decide after Saturday's long run when I see how I feel. Keeping my fingers crossed!
