Happy New Year

Greetings and Salutations,

As I write this I think back on this year and thank God for letting me be alive.

I thank God for my children and wife. I thank God for our friends and family.

I thank God for my health and the renewal I have found through running.

Now with that being said, as this is a running blog of sorts, I must confess that this Christmas season has been very difficult to find time to exercise.

I changed running styles, or at least tried too and as a result sidelined myself for pushing way too hard.. I was a heel striker when I ran and I tried changing to the Pose Method of running; this forces you to strike with the forefoot. Let me just say it will make a huge difference in the feel of your running.

Let me caution you though; if you want to run with less impact on your knees and heels, be prepared to take a hit on your shins. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you begin with the exercises and then progress to jumping rope to build up the muscles in your shins.

God Bless and have a very safe and Happy New year!

Isaiah 43:16, 18-19“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) NIV. All Rights Reserved.
