Running into the New Year! Week of New Year's.

[Jolt]

Well, today was better--no issues this workout. I went to the Y and ran 15 minutes on the treadmill, concentrating very hard on maintaining good form, and didn't have a problem (kept it to 15 minutes to be safe--focusing so much on keeping proper form is hard!). Then I did 15 minutes on one of the bikes, then ran barefoot around the track upstairs for a little more than 5 minutes. Actually, I didn't do most of it around the track--there were people walking counterclockwise and I am trying to do more clockwise to keep the stress off that left IT band and balance myself out, so I went down to this walkway that goes around above the gym and mostly ran there. Plus, I don't know what it is about that track (maybe just the fact that it's steeply banked which invites one to accelerate into the turns) but it makes me want to just fly! I was somewhat surprised the people on the track didn't comment on the fact I had no shoes on.
