Back to Running

Well, trying to anyway. I ran 3 miles yesterday and my dumb new shoes made my foot hurt. It's hard to be motivated when your foot and leg aches from your run two days before. I have also discovered that running while listening to someone talk doesn't work. It has to be music. And sometimes music with no words is better. The theme from Rocky is a good song. Also, Jock Jams. However, that is only while on the treadmil. Outside - NO MUSIC! I can't run outside with headphones on for fear that someone or something is behind me and I can't hear them. (ie: big scary dog panting while chasing me down the street!) While very boring indeed, treadmill running is much safer than running in my neighborhood. Why do people have dogs??? And snow in April...don't even get me started.
