For me, 2014 was the year of injuries. I spent 7 weeks on the sideline with a knee injury that went away and came back a couple times months later.\u00a0 I also had ankle problems off and on. Despite these injuries,\u00a0 I was able to run 2 half marathons and one marathon.\u00a0\u00a0 I learned a lot about injuries and how to prevent ones that require physical therapy (or at least I hope).<\/p>\n
Right now I am undecided about what races I’m doing in 2015.\u00a0\u00a0 I am running the Shamrock Half Marathon in March, but besides that, I don’t know what other races I’m doing.<\/p>\n
I’m primarily running in Brooks Ravenna 5 right now.\u00a0 They have a 8mm drop.\u00a0 I still have Altra zero drops that I want to keep running in to become more used to. But I have given up on the Newtons because they seem to cause me the most ankle and arch problems.\u00a0 Too bad because they are so light, and I can run pretty fast in them. A couple friends are running in Hoka One One and love them.\u00a0 I still have not found the perfect shoe for me.<\/p>\n
But my runs have been pretty solid. I am currently not too sore and training for Shamrock is going well. It is a flat fast course but can be windy. But maybe a PR is possible there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
