August 13 ~ Good form!

Posted on 20. Aug, 2009 by cleverdaisies in 100 Mile Journey

Where did the week go? Can it really be Thursday already? Another walk this morning. This taper thing can’t end soon enough!

I am happy to report that I have good running form. I went to a free running clinic tonight hosted by http://www.runningrehoboth.com/. They had a foot doctor there. I nearly fell off the treadmill from laughter when he said to me “so, you probably run about 60-80 miles a week”. I agreed with a shrug. He asked me when my next race was and he said “ok, I know you now. You are an athlete. Don’t need to prove it to us by that pace you running now”. I got off the treadmill:) I was told that I had good running form. I should probably change my shoe type. Too much motion control. I could be a better (and most importantly) faster runner if I would wear a different shoe! Music to my ears!

My friends, Andy O http://blog.andyobrien.com/ , Caleb http://bonkproof.com/ and Steve http://www.runbulldogrun.com/ better watch out. There is another speed monster in the house!!!
