Monday is a run day

So I ran.

2.25 miles, same pace as always 12:-12:20.  My right shin is feeling almost 100%.  The left shin has very little muscle pain but my bone and ankle are at about 65%. Sore for sure but not pain.  After I run my leg is very week for about an hour but as long as I ice, massage and rest it recovers well.

I knew before I started that I had not drank enough water yesterday or today and  man did I feel it.  I had to push hard to keep my pace up and I seriously stopped and grabbed a handful of snow to eat.  I was so grateful for that snow!  However, now I hate it again. I'm moody like that.

It took me 2 hours until I finally went downstairs and did my weight circuit.  I'm happy to say I actually got all 3 sets done in 40 minutes.  Now that I know the exercises I'm able to just do it and not think much.

I'm feeling great with both workouts in and eating is good today.

New Shoes!

They came! Its not very excited to get new shoes that look exactly like your old ones. I'm just saying.
However it is excited to know they should fix the pain your experiencing!

I took them for a little 'break in' run on the treadmill for 2 miles. I ended up walking the last half mile, due to  my shins screaming at me.  The shoes felt great and it was actually surprising how much I could immediately tell the difference in cushioning and support.

I came home and watched Biggest Looser while I iced the shins.  I can't believe Courtney had to go home!!! So sad! I Love Her, she is Incredible! If the whole world had her happy attitude it would truly be an amazing place!
