Setbacks Aren’t Permanent. Sometimes They’re Needed
A week into my training for the Grand Rapids Marathon I’m running to raise money to help children in Africa have access to clean water (you can help by going HERE and donating any amount you’re able to), I was on the sideline. I couldn’t run.
It’s not that I didn’t want to run. I did… Oh, did I ever. So did Lok.
For some odd reason, my body craves to be on the road. My feet pounding the pavement. My shoes putting on the miles.
But when I switched from my Brooks Ravenna 8s (I sadly can no longer run in my barefoot shoes) to the Brooks Ravenna 9s, something happened. The shoes had undergone a big enough change between models that my running style was impacted. Not only that, my legs and feet began to ache.
