Training with new shoes

When I first started my training I would bike while my mom ran.  She would run 3 miles while I biked beside her.  It gave me exercise. Doing this showed me that a 5k was not very long at all.  I decided I wanted to run a 5k.

Here I am on my bike during moms run.  

Before I trained I would have to get some running shoes.  Mom took me to four running stores and we shopped for running shoes.   I was looking for a lightweight shoe that was bendable.  Our last stop was the Nike store.  Here we found a pair of lightweight, bendable shoes in my favorite color, BLUE!

Nike Run Free

The next day I whipped out my new running shoes, put them on and felt alive.  I used Jeff Galloway's training of walk one minute and then run one minute.  I ran and walked around the path in my neighborhood.  I ripped up that path.  My goal of running started on this day and I hope one day to be an Olympic Gold Medalist.
