Running Update (and cute workout clothes)

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about how I was finally starting to enjoy running.  About the time I posted that, I started having some pain in my left heel.  It gradually got worse and there were a couple of days where it was awful.  I asked some of my running friends if it was "normal."  I thought since I had started running more, it was just sore and had to get used to me running.  After some people thought it could be heel spurs or plantar fasciitis, I decided to call the doctor and get it looked at.  I also stopped running.  By the time I got in to the doctor, I hadn't ran in 5 days and it was actually feeling better.  Luckily, the doctor didn't think it was plantar fasciitis and I had an x-ray done to rule out heel spurs or a fracture.  She told me not to run for a full week, so I gave it 10 days.  My heel feels pretty much back to normal now and I've started running again (yay!).

The point of that whole story was that, again, I realized that I am enjoying running.  I missed running during those 10 days of letting my foot rest.  I did a couple of easy workouts at home during that time, but I really missed the running part.  I'm so glad I'm back at it now and pretty much pain free--hoping it stays that way!

Now that I've been running more, I think it totally justifies some cute workout clothes, right?  Please convince my husband of that :)  So here are some cute workout clothes that I'm drooling over right now.  Everything except the shoes can be found at Old Navy.  I'm a big fan of their active wear and their prices!

  3. Old Navy is one of my favorite places to shop for workout clothes too!! They have such great prices and really good quality stuff. Another place I love to shop is Academy Sports. They have brand name clothing for much better prices than other athletic stores.
    I joined the link up today too and my post was about athletic clothing and "essentials" ;) Looks like both of us are itching for a shopping trip!!

  6. Those capris are so cute!! I usually find super cute workout clothes for a reasonable price at TJ Maxx or Marshall's. I definitely that that enjoying running is an accomplishment that should be celebrated with new workout clothes! Plus, cute running gear is proven to make you run faster. ;p

  7. Glad your foot is feeling better- I'm currently nursing an ankle flare up and it stinks! I have come to realize minor injuries are just part of the working out process. Anyway- cute clothing always makes working out better, right? I always feel good when I have a cute outfit going on. :) I love the blue tank the best!

    xo Always, Abby
