Bi-centennial baby!!

Albeit on my own, I am still happy with it.  I am a little disappointed in myself for letting my teammates slip away without participating, but will definitely cover my portion of the 2011.  I haven't done the math but I believe I am personally at about 150 miles.  Even though it's a little behind the pace necessary, the improvements I have made make me extremely happy.  Tonight I pretty casually ran 3 miles and walked one more.  Also, my cardio has improved to where I can run 3 miles and my heart rate stays right around 150.  With that heart rate I am still burning a fair amount of fat instead of glycogen and sugars when the heart rate reaches it's maximum level.

personal best

It's pretty pathetic considering the running company I keep, but today was my finest day as a runner.....(or, well, as the wannabe runner I have become.)

4 miles NON-STOP!!!!  In the middle of January when this fiasco started I was running a whopping 8 steps.

April 2: 5 miles.  (I walked an additional one.)

total miles: 196

That I go to the gym on a friday night.

Must get better motivation

going the distance.....

ok, maybe not a very far distance.  I am guessing a 3rd/4th job wasn't the best idea for trying to go to the gym consistently.

Old age or over weight????

This is the question of the day...  Do my shins hurt so bad because I am overweight and it will go away when I cut back down to normal weight, or is it just a sign of old age.

HATE!!!

I know it's a strong word, but that is the best thing I can think of to say.  As I was running tonight I had to stop because my shins were on the verge of collapse.  Throughout this whole training deal I have had pain in my shins, but tonight was horribly painful.  It hurts like crazy just to walk.  Just as I get into my groove of being consistent it seems I get derailed by some sort of injury.  My cardio feels great like I could run 5 miles easy, but my legs just won't cooperate.  So frustrating.......
