Wow - tomorrow's the last day of my Learn to Run clinic! Hard to believe. I feel like I can take on so much more now than I could when I started. I feel so much stronger.

Now that I'm starting to work on increasing my distances, though, I really need to pay even closer attention to my running form. I went for a run on Wednesday with the group, and when I got tired my form got all sloppy - I was landing almost flat instead of on the balls of my feet, and my knees got sore to the point where I almost had to walk the last kilometre or so. I didn't - I kept running, but only barely.

But on the plus side, it was the furthest distance yet for me - about 6.5 km!!  :)

But yes, I really need to focus on proper alignment and proper foot placement so I can keep running injury-free.

I've also decided to opt for the 5k clinic. I want to build up my strength and endurance, and I also want to consistently have good running form before I start increasing my mileage (see above).

I can't wait for the next clinic! And luckily I won't have to, since it starts this week - yay!!

Tons of running (but not too much) is in the forecast for this week.
