I had a great past few days with my running! I've run 1.8 miles the past 2 days. I'm pretty much amazed that I have been able to do it, and that I wasn't completely exhausted at the end. My endurance has improved ten fold - I can actually run without getting so winded that I have to stop. The main problem that I'm dealing with lately is that my feet (mainly my right foot) tends to fall asleep about 20 minutes in to a run. It's super frustrating and gets really painful if it falls all the way asleep. I've done some googling (very scientific) and have concluded that it's either a) my shoes or b) very tight calf muscles. I don't think it's my shoes because I was fitted for these and have laced them ten thousand different ways. I do know that I'm very inflexible, so I'm thinking that it's the result of my super tight calf muscles. Anyway, I've added a lot of additional stretches to my pre-run warm up. So far, I've had 2 runs without my feet going numb. Hopefully it keeps improving!
Tuesday my run is 20 minutes non-stop. I'm nervous!!
In Simeon news, his parents got good news at their last ultrasound. His hydrocephaly seems to have stabilized at moderate. Also he continues to move his legs which is hopeful. His parents are doing so amazing dealing with everything and getting their home ready. We were even able to see one of those cool 3D ultrasounds of his face! I am so excited to meet Simeon in a few months!
Congrats on the running - that is amazing!! I would love to start up running again one day soon. Glad you're blogging again. :)
