i'm still fighting horrible knee pain and trying to train through it. somehow, i've been getting runner's world magazine for the past few months as some sort of introductory offer. well, they ended up hooking me into a subscription like a dumb fish. i like the magazine though. i've picked up a few exercises in the past few issues to strengthen my lower body so i'm hoping that'll help me with my knees.
believe it or not but i've been training in shorts at least once a week. outdoors. the coldest i've ran in was about 35 degrees wind chill. once you get warmed up after a mile, it's not too bad as long as you have the right layers going. i'll add some extra insulation in the form of running tights this week. unlike the infamous adam legend, i'll be wearing shorts on top.
these aren't normal tights though. the cw-x tights have 40 patents to them. i'm hoping the extra support will help with my knees and lower back. and they make me look like a superhero.
first race is coming up in a little over a month. considering where i am at today, it's going to be a stretch to be ready for 10k.
