Must get better motivation

March 30: 4 miles

total miles: 184

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.

March 23: 4 miles

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.......

March 15: 2 miles

172 total.

planning is necessary

Last week was pretty slow as far as running.  I had a lot going on with both of my jobs last week, but I have realized that way more than a lack of time I suffer from a lack of time management.  Starting this week I am working on putting myself on a schedule, and have decided to try work more from the office than home.  Which I shouldn't complain about seeing as they gave me the cube with a window, and I have about 15 feet of desk space.  It's actually pretty pimp as far as cubes are concerned.

I am well on pace to meet my monthly goal of 56 miles this month, but I somehow need to step it up to make up for last month.  The rest of the month is BUSY, but knowing this is half the battle.  I feel confident I can make up most of the miles.

last week was slow......

March 8: 4 miles
March 10: 4 miles

4-4

March 3: 4 miles

back on track

I am 3 for 3 this week.  Although, I had to cut my run a little short it was good.  Instead of doing interval runs I have started to go for distance.  My cardio actually feels great so now if my legs would cooperate this will be a party.  Tonight  I ran for two miles without stopping, and then I walked for 2 more miles in my "zone" for fat burning.

March 2: 4 miles

positive thinking

I am going to remain positive ALL month no matter what is going on. :)  With that being said, day one was a smashing success as I went to the gym early in the day and put in my 4 miles.  Due to the fact that I am trying to lose weight more than run a marathon, I spent more time than usual walking today.  As APC pointed out in her posts, burning fat happens at lower heart rates.  With the skid I went on for the last ten days of the month my weight creeped back up to 225.  I was hoping to be at 220.  Overall though, I am fairly happy because I had started at 237.
