After Saturday's run, I was a bit nervous about starting to run this week....wondering if I should just take a small break....a few days...maybe a week...
And much to my delight...
There IT was...the Cho-Pat strap of my dreams.....Yes, it's true...I have found my soul-mate...okay, well... my new running mate anyway...
I wasn't sure how the thing would work. It is apparently supposed to be worn in the place closest to the area of discomfort when running. For a while, that was my knee, but lately it has been near my right hip. So...I wasn't sure if I would have to order another larger pair. I tried it anyway and tentatively started out...
One mile down...no pain...hmmm..maybe it just hasn't been long enough....
Two...three....four....Man, I felt great!!
A day later, it still feels okay.... and I am too excited about my new friend!! Again, props and a BIG "shout out" to Kim, who suggested them to me. I am looking forward to my runs this week and maybe this weekend's 8 mile route won't be too bad. At least my "running family" will be together again, with Cheryl and Kim both joining me for the LR Marathon group run and, of course, Starbucks' afterwards...
