Comments on: First Pre-Run Attempt http://www.lowfatpie.com/blog/2011/08/30/first-pre-run-attempt/ amazing what changes when you start to run Tue, 15 May 2012 05:08:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Katie http://www.lowfatpie.com/blog/2011/08/30/first-pre-run-attempt/#comment-2531 Katie Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:41:29 +0000 http://www.lowfatpie.com/blog/?p=1343#comment-2531 Hey, Renee! Have you read "Chi Running"? I'm in the middle of it and am loving it. LOVING it. It's all about how to relax into the running and how to never, ever hurt yourself. They give tips that I've never heard on body placement, breathing, forward lean and all kinds of nuggets. I've started to run faster (immediately) because of the tips and am learning to relax so that even though it's a faster pace, my body doesn't perceive it as stressful. Given that you're coming back from an injury it might be worth checking it out. (I got it on my Kindle) The author's whole mindset is to teach you to run efficiently and carefully so you will never get hurt and you can run into your 90's and I know that's both of our goals.

When I wss on holiday I was sure that I saw a message from you about it, but when I returned I couldn't find the message any more! I really, really, really WANT to do it and as of last Thursday I thought I wouldn't be able to, but I was talking to my husband and a friend of his and they both said "It's 10K. It's fairly easy to build up to a 10K again even after a short break, <em>when you are a runner</em>." I thought, yeah! I am runner! I should be able to do it!! So long story short i just want to check with my physio if he's OK with me doing it and then I'll sign up! I have been meaning to talk to you about this!
