It was an overcast day again today but this time we were jogging under the drizzle! I thought at first it might be only the moisture in the air, but it was actually drizzling. Regardless, we still proceeded with our jogging. We got up at 4:30 am and drove about 30 minutes to the beach, a little rain won't stop us! Good thing today I geared up with my wind breaker jacket and a cap, but my stubborn hubby refused to wear a cap. He said he doesn't look good in cap. Who cares!
Anyway, I bought a new pair of running shoes at Road Runner Sports yesterday and it's AWESOME! The staff over there were really friendly and they even did some test to help me find the perfect pair of running shoes. And I just found out all these times I've been wearing a WRONG SIZE OF SHOES for running. I've been wearing size 8 and when they checked yesterday, I'm supposed to wear SIZE 9 1/2 .....OMG! But I'm glad I got this pair of shoes and I could jog perfectly fine today without any stiff knees like I've been having it all these times! I also got 3 pairs of non cotton socks as cotton is not good for runners. Those are perfect! I didn't feel any blisters or frictions on my feet when I jog. Believe me, I could even run a bit too and didn't feel any stiff knees! The shoes did cost me a bit more, but I'm paying for the goodness they provide me. Also the best part is I have 60 Days to exchange if the shoes don't feel good on me but don't think that would happen! I'm glad I finally got this good pair of running shoes.
My workout schedule might be a bit off this time. As you can see, I have resistance days back to back. It shouldn't be too bad because one day I'm working on my shoulders and arms and the next day is more for legs and back. My abs can recover fast enough for back to back ab workout.

Round 2: Day 14 - Beach Power Walk/Jogging
Woohoo, finally I went to the beach this morning with my hubby for a jog. Since my right foot is still in the process of healing, I only did brisk walking and light jogging in between. My husband jogged all the way (good for him!). I was only going to do jogging around neighborhood area but my hubby said might as well we go to the beach. So I got up at 4:30 am this morning..haha! Who wants to get up this early on Saturday? See how empty the beach trail was!
The weather was PERFECT! It was overcast the whole morning and wasn't cold at all! I am not a person who likes to be under sunlight too much so overcast weather is perfect for me!
We jogged/walked about 6 miles total (3.1 miles one way) for about 1 hour (started 6:10 am, finished 7:30 am). That was not bad! I tried to jog a little bit in between my brisk walking, couldn't run yet. Had to take it easy on my right foot. But I'm getting there!
Tomorrow we might want to go there again. It did take us a while to drive down to the beach (about 30-40 min local street drive), but it's worth it! It supposedly resistance day for me (P90X Chest & Back, Abs), but I want to take the advantage of weekend to do my outdoor activities. I'll switch the resistance day on Monday instead.
