I Wanna Run to You

December 2, 2009 by Amy

Title source

So somehow Melissa talked me into going to TrySports to get running shoes.  I hate to run.  Like, really hate to run.  Cycling, I don’t mind.  But I’m not a fan of running.  But then Melissa is all inspiring with her upcoming marathon and she promises it gets better and easier and you don’t feel like you’re going to die after a few minutes miles.  And I really would LIKE to like running.  So I decided to start the Couch to 5K program.  Monday night Melissa got done with her SECOND novel and her and her husband met the four of us up at TrySports.  Now you know you have a great friend when she inspires and encourages you to run.  But you know you have a great BLOGGING friend when she takes pictures of your running analysis and shoe fitting.

Turns out I have some external thingie on my right foot that causes it to turn outward when I plant my foot.  It’s caused by carrying the girls on my right hip for so long.   I went home with a new pair of Brooks and some cycling shoes that I can clip in the bike.  I finished Day 1 of Couch to 5K yesterday so I guess I’m on my way.

    That’s awesome! How did you like Trysports? I take it they are worth checking out! 🙂 I have always wanted to run but the motivation hasn’t been there… maybe I can start soon!

    They were seriously awesome. Very, very personal. They did all the work (except the running HA) and were very knowledgeable. No pressure whatsoever to buy if you’re not ready but will get you exactly what you need if you are. If you go, make sure to give them my name…I think I get something for referrals!

    That’s very cool! And I will make sure I go there and tell them you sent me! 🙂 I am going to try to get Amy to go with me…she wants to run in a 5k race next fall so we need to get going on this running thing. 🙂

    Oh… this is random but I am going to switch my blog this week to wordpress. I think that will be a better fit for me.

    Becky, Amy will get a $10 coupon if you tell them she referred you, and also if your friend Amy puts her name down too!

    TrySports is amazing. The more you get into the sports (running, cycling, swimming) the more you’ll realize how great they are … I can ask them about anything, from how many layers to wear in my marathon this month to what to eat and how long before the race to eat and what time to go to bed the night before …

    They truly love the sport and want to help us all be athletes!

    Amy, I’m so proud of your running. So proud!! Come out to the running group anytime – they have a run/walk group for starters. And you know I’ll run with you anytime you’re ready!

    Just saw these comments – let us know how it goes, Becky and Amy K., when you go visit them! I was just there picking up some stocking stuffers and they are an amazing bunch. They were giving me advice on what I would need to do to get ready for a triathlon (I’m a runner, but swimming and biking are pretty much Greek to me! I plan to change that!)
