I recently started running. I used to say, "I am not a runner. I don't like to run. I have asthma..." Until the day I realized that running is hard for everyone. Every runner pushes through pain and negative feelings.I realized that even I could be a runner.
So, I set a goal--to run a 5k.
I didn't just go outside and start running. I did some research, found a free Couch to 5k running group, bought real running shoes, and started running three days a week.
It was hard. It hurt. I could barely walk up and down my stairs. I had to use my inhaler...a lot. But, I always had encouragement from my husband and my friends in the running group.
The day of my race as my husband and two kids cheered me on, I got a little emotional. I was accomplishing my goal.I ran a 5k. I did it!
And now, I am a runner.
I wish I had tried these inserts at the beginning, maybe my pain would have been less. Better late than never. After a run, my legs and feet feel the best after using these inserts. Running is still hard, but it isn't as painful with these inserts. Thanks Influenster for letting me try them for free.
