Last MGBx3J // New Shoes

We made it! MGBx3J is done! I definitely learned a lot about my body during these past couple months.

Something I'm really excited to do is work even harder this last month before I head to school! I'm kicking up my cardio to 60 minutes! 

The picture on the left is from when I started working out about a year ago. The picture on the right is from about 2 weeks ago. Not a crazy amount of progress, but I'm proud! I'll be taking more (better quality) pictures soon!

So, to quote my consistent half-marathon runner of a mom, you should get a new pair of shoes every 500 miles. Well, that's great advice for those who track their miles! But what about those of us who don't? I have had a pair of pink Nike Free 4.0 shoes for the past year and a half, which I loved. However, the top of the shoe started to tear so you could see my toes & the cushioning on the bottom became thin. So that's when I decided it was time for a new pair! 

Moral of the story: shoes will make or break your workout. Make sure you look for the signs of worn down shoes (rips, thin lining, joint pain, etc.) 

I love my Nike Free 4.0s! I tried the 5.0 recently, but the toe box was a little too wide for my liking. Plus, the 5.0 edges of the heel were rounded, which made me feel less stable (for when I'm working with weights).
