Strength Training, Injuries, and Shoes

November 14th, 2007

I start weight training tonight after work! I drew up my master plan to coincide with my running plan yesterday, and I’m going to get a jump start on it tonight. I’m still not running even though I’m feeling 95% better. My hamstring, foot, and knee all feel all right, but my hip is achy, just as it was before the half marathon. I’m sort of thinking that most of this trouble has stemmed from a need for new shoes, so I’m going to wait to run until I get a new pair, which will be within the next week. When I get those, I’ll do a test run and see how my troublesome body parts handle the exercise.

More later…
